“Paula McCoy” Waterslide Decal Collection

Pre-order for the 2025 Glass and Bead Expo.  All other orders will be shipped after April 15, 2025

• These are part of the “Paula McCoy” Watercolor Decal Collection
• These decals can be used on glass and ceramic.
• I originally painted this Peacock design with acrylics on a 12×12″ canvas.
• Available in 1-6″, 2-4″ and 3-2″ (6 to a page with these sizes) 

Our full-color water-slide overglaze decals are glossy, lead-free, food-safe, UV-resistant, and scratch-resistant when applied onto glazed and fired ceramic ware or fusible glass.

Materials Needed:

• Paula McCoy/CeramiPics decal sheet
• Rubbing alcohol or White Distilled Vinegar for fused glass
• Plastic rib tool
• Squeegee, or roller-glazed ceramic piece Lint-free cloth Kiln
• Scissors
• Bowl of warm water

1. Using a lint-free cloth, wipe the area of the piece where you are applying decals with rubbing alcohol to remove oils from your skin and dust from the surface.
2. Trim as close to the image as possible because the durable flux top coat may leave a slight line where you cut out the decal.
3. Place the decal in a bowl of warm water for about 30 seconds, or until you can gently slide the decal from its paper backing.
4. Carefully slide the decal from the paper backing onto your ceramic piece. Be sure to leave the decal face up.
5. Hold your decal in place. Use a squeegee, rib, or roller to gently press from the center of the decal outward to remove any water and air bubbles. Repeat as needed to ensure all water has been extracted.
6. Next, blot your decal with a new lint-free cloth, again working from the center outward. Allow the decal to dry overnight or until no moisture remains (about 6 hours).
7. If you have a programmable electric kiln, fire your decal piece using this firing schedule:

Allow the kiln to cool to at least 150°F before opening for ceramics, for fused glass allow to cool to room temperature.
