The best way I've found for working with TissueCal^TM markings is to wait until the plane is nearly finished to apply them.  Get the plane all painted and sealed up then use your UHU Glue Stic on the back of the TissueCal^TM to stick them on.  First, I cut out the image very close and even with the edge of the image.  Then on a waste sheet of paper apply the glue stick to the back of the TissueCal^TM.  I only work with one at a time.  Then you just position it and when happy smooth it out gently with your finger.  If you have a trim iron for applying the r/c plastic film coverings you can use the iron to apply the final pressure. Use a very low heat setting or you will smear the image.  The final step is to apply several light coatings of Krylon Clear Satin finish spray paint allowing it to dry between each coat.  If you spray it on heavy you risk dissolving the inks and ruining the image. The satin finish gives an even transition to the final finish so it blends into the overall tissue covering.  Make sure you mask off the windows or anything else you don't want to be dulled.  You can use the instructions on your TissueCal^TM sheet to test out your sealer before proceeding.

We invite you to send us photos of your plane as well as building tips to add to the Easy Built Models web site. Click here for a complete list of TissueCal^TM markings.
