Issue 19 - Contains a pre-painted Mark Webber helmet and decal set.
The helmet decals are waterslide decals which are quite delicate once released from the backing paper.
Carefully cut around each decal as needed. Holding a decal with tweezers, immerse it in lukewarm water and soak for 20-30 seconds until the decal slides easily on its backing paper when gently touched (do not allow the decal to float free of its backing paper). Then quickly place decal in the location indicated on the helmet, by carefully sliding it from the paper, then discard the backing paper.
Use a tissue or a cotton bud to remove the excess water once the decal is in place. A cotton bud can also be used to gently push out any trapped air pockets or bubbles from beneath the decal.
To help the decals conform to the curvature of the helmet, you may find it helpful to use a decal softening solution.
Carefully follow the manufacturer instructions, but in general soak the decal and position it in the usual way, then brush the softener onto the decal. The decal will start to soften, and will break if you try to move it. Use a cotton bud or tissue to remove excess liquid but do not touch the decal itself. The decal surface will wrinkle, but don’t worry - this is normal and it will flatten as it dries out.
If necessary, you can re-apply softener to remove any wrinkles that haven’t entirely disappeared and allow to dry for 24 hours before handling.
Once you have applied all of the decals, set the helmet aside for 24 hours to allow them to fully dry.
You can opt to gloss the helmet to seal/protect the decals, but be sure to use an 'aqueous' gloss product, (a solvent based product may damage the paint/decls).
This completes this stage of the assembly.
