[MENTION=108254]Bart Cordell[/MENTION] may I ask how you print he decals? I personally design in PS Elements 13, then insert in Word and rescale, on my Brother laserprinter, but I have trouble in printing small rolex dials, it's not sharp enough... help please?

I print on inkjet printer directly from photoshop, don't know if it make a difference.

might give this a try one day my major during high school was actually design.. So I'm very familiar with vector and photoshop files :rofl: but it's been years since I touched the software...

So your work will be better than mine, I'm not a graphic designer and used photoshop for the first time. I used it without knowledge.

I doubt it mate... I think the major challenge for me would be to get the Lume mixture right... I have never lumed anything before in my life, I just wonder how the viscosity of the mixture will be... Im thinking that a mini template might help with the neatness

I have many things to learn about lume too. I use my own recipe with more or less success. Result is acceptable but not as good as it should be.

I can see the challenges in that... I'm di liberating if it's even worth getting a Lume mixture. I don't really require Lume - I might just end up using gauche paint instead. It dries with a texture like lume

Didn't know what is gauche paint. Do you have a link ?
Maybe it could be mixed with lume powder

Edit : do you mean gouache ?

Certainly not a genius, just a gilt lover who can't spend money on high end dials.

You certainly can't tell that these are not "high end". Your work is lovely.
