whats the chances of moving a ready stuck decal?

[steveo3002]

bought this otto golf , its the exact car i own in real life lol

its pretty cool but the g60 badge isnt level , doesnt notice so bad in person

whats the chances of me wetting it and moving it a bit?

If it's waterslide or tampo print, not a chance. However, that look slike a sticker, so scalpel behind it and ease it away from the model. Looking at your other pics on the 'show us your models' thread, you may want to be easing the ones on the rubbing strip as well.

is it likely anyone would make me another for a beer? really lets it down , the sides are near enough

I'd check, as the white edges make it appear to be more like a sticker than a waterslide, which shouldn't have white edges (unless they've been cheap and used white paper).

looks like a overhanging waterslide in person

ive emailed to see if they can adivse or send me a new one

If it's a waterslide decal a drop of warm water left on it for ten minutes or so might shift it. If it doesn't then it's a sticker; try a drop of white spirit or similar, enamel thinners etc.

If you get really stuck and wreck it, drop me an email through my profile.

right ..i tried the scapel and it came away , pretty sure it was a badly stuck water slide , wasnt adhesive at all and very thin

restuck it and its all good now

otto is sending me a new decal too , so good customer service there

thanks for the offer red

Now you have shifted it you might like to try a refix (I know you have wet it and stuck down but...) with a very thin mixture of water and PVA adhesive on a fine paint brush as you lift the corner with your scalpel

This may add extra stick-on-ness to it for you

I often use a little PVA in my transfer/decal (warmish) water
