HDN 95 Posted February 23, 2014 I looked at those kits a few days ago. I left with mixed emotions. I have been hitting the videos this guy seems to answer a bunch of questions in his videos. I am going to build a tank in the next week or so. So far I have found two suppliers who have answered my questions in a professional manner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busterbay 326 Posted February 24, 2014 I wonder if you could use regular waterside paper, the key is most likely the chemical they are using to break down the transfer material. I'm sure you could find a MSDS on the waterslide then see what it reacts to. If they are using tattoo grade waterslide then I would assume it's something mild like acetic acid as I believe these are gelatin based. The topcoat appears to be some type of acrylic. No facts here just me thinking out loud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
