Subject: Magic Dip
So, I'm thinking about making some magic dip this weekend for some 6mm tanks and other vehicles. My question, before I go ahead with this endeavor (I'm planning on using ink and future floor finish), is, does anyone know if washing my minis in this will do anything bad to the water slide decals I have on 'em? Thanks, J

I am sure you will have no problem applying the decals. If it is a problem placing them onto to furture/ink, you could always apply a small layer of matte acrylic varnish to the area before applying the decal. R > From: "John K.

There's always danger for waterslides from another application of water or water-soluble materials, but my impression is that the worst you could fear is that the dip, or Magic Wash as I usually hear it called, is that it might show the edge of the decal if the decal is thick enough. Seems damn unlikely, though... The_Beast

Exactly. The tanks already have decals on them. I'm not so worried about edges showing, I'm more concerned about the decals lifting off. Tony Francis appearantly has tried it and it worked for him (thanks Tony!), so I'll try to mix some up and will give it a shot sometime this weekend. Thanks!
