Group: Forum Members Posts: 34, Visits: 134	Hi all. I would like to place a logo on a carbon part without having to simply stick a decal over the finished part. I was thinking of covering the logo(sticker) with clear but I will then get a raised section of the logo. What are the methods other than just sticking a logo above the part ? I have seen some logos on parts that seem perfectly "painted". (see image as an example) . EVR Ducati Hypermotard 1100 Carbon Fiber Air Box

Not sure about sliding one into the mould as the water slip stuff is on the backing of the paper and you would want the face or the front of the decal to be on the inside of the mould if you get what I'm saying ... I think you might have trouble slipping of the decal using resin as they are very delicate and susceptible to stretching and deforming the water makes it very slippery and easy to handle and slip into place also the material needs to dry in place else it will be damaged or distorted when applying the laminate. Though you might want to run a few tests with some small decals as I might be completely wrong with my thoughts David Stevens YouTube: Comment \| Rate \| Subscribe Instagram Composite Projects Body Package for Dax Rush RC Car Touring Body 1/10 Scale

Well I have played around with the water slide Decals and yes they work really well except they are subtle decals, you have to catch them in the right light for them to be clear. You cannot see the.....
