Glue for glueing in decals?

[Quinton]

What is the name of the glue you use to glue your decals or images on the inside of your body? I've heard some people buy the stuff at Hobby Lobby.

(anyone got any cool pics of their work)
Thanks :)

xxx main picture glue

I believe xxx is the stuff they label and sell to us R/C type people but there is some other stuff that the "average" person can get at "women's" hobby shops. lol
For some reason, the name hodge podge is in my head but I could be way off.

quinton-if u look at this months paint compition, on my "resident evil" theme truck-i used the xxx main picture glue,it works awesome.

i think what u were refering to was modge podge????,i think thats what its called.

i've used modge podge. Just make sure you use generous amounts otherwise it will leave brush streaks. If done right it can look awesome!

[Quinton]

So when you use modge or elmers you have to cover the whole front of the image with a nice thin layer, and then seal the edges up well?? How long do you have to let it dry roughly before you are able to paint?
Thanks

Few hours, if not over night.

Make sure you press every square millimeter of the image you are glueing in. It helps to reduce the streaks and also will fit the image into any grooves or curves.

Just take your time and it will look good

FastCoat work really well too, and you can use to to seal the body after painting.

I may just try some elmers since we have some around. If it looks OK I will post a pic.

I have heard of mixed results with elmers glue. It is not as flexable as Fascoat or XXX Main Picture glue. The image may pop out if you hid the boards or curb to hard.
