Notice that the page has a yellow tint. The covercoat is made that way to detect spot defects. This will totally burn out.

Clean the glazed ceramic/glass surface with de-natured alcohol.

We recommend using warm distilled water and an electric skillet to hold about 2” of distilled water warm to the touch. Place the decal in the water, let soak until uncurls and before the paper backing separates from the decal. Remove from water and gently lay decal on the ceramic/glass surface where you want it to be. Hold down one edge and gently slide the paper from under the decal, leaving the image and covercoat only. Warming the ceramic/glass is also helpful. Heat lamps or a hot plate with kiln-furniture to support the ceramic or glass allows for gentle heat- warm to touch. This helps keep the decal flexible.

Now, the part that is critical- you have to squeegee gently but firmly starting from the middle and working out. Hold tile up at eye level and check for air bubbles. Gently resqueegee any you see. If you don’t get the decal well squeegied there will be air bubbles and holes in your image when fired.
(soft red silicone squeegees- about 3-4 inches wide are available at MUDTOOLS.com)

We try to decal the day before we fire. If not, our recommended firing schedule allows for complete drying with the very slow first segment.
