Paul,

Which of the waterslide materials have you used that is desolved with turpentine? The website warns against using certain laser printers that do not use fusing oil. I have a Brother MFC9840CDW which does not appear in their "approved" list. I am not sure if it qualifys. I have both inkjet and laser printers, but I feel the laser printers may be the best for colorfastness.

I also found a decal website.

Prices are about the same. I don't see the warnings on that site. I would like to try the waterslide decals. That seems that it would be an excellent solution.

I have also tried rice and onion skin papers. I was surprised when I found that the onion skin paper shows up in the background much more than the rice paper (and the rice paper is thicker)

I will post photos of the rice and onion skin results. I also tried overhead plastic sheets. They were nearly perfect and the epoxy adhesion is good. There may be more problems with trapped bubbles on the overhead plastic sheets.
