I use these to make tiny cuts into the transfer whilst it's still on the backing paper, in the case of the thunderbolt I use for the chapter badge, the cuts are just into the black circle. I also trim off as much excess clear transfer around the edges. The cuts allow the transfer to shape itself around the curved surface of the pad.(I do this on knee pads too.<br />As for stopping the reflective nature of transfers, with this army I use an all over purity seal spray which flattens all the shininess. On other armies where I don't matt or silk varnish I use a coat of brushed on matt varnish on the transfer where I want a flat finish.<br />I've not read the GW method that I remember so I can't compare. Is it similar?Boss Bluddtoofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11754395868504946654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6680503486360335386.post-71275543339853307282013-09-10T02:22:23.602+01:002013-09-10T02:22:23.602+01:00Looks good, very nice job on the white; it came ou...Looks good, very nice job on the white; it came out very clean.<br /><br />Is there a special technique that you use to apply the water-slide transfer, or just the GW method?
