Place the decal in a shallow pan of warm water and soak for about 60 seconds, or until the color layer begins to slide from the backing paper. The decal can now be applied to the ware.
Apply the decal over the object face-up, and slip out the backing paper from underneath.
Adjust the position of the decal on the ware and remove the water using a rubber squeegee or a damp sponge. This is accomplished by stroking from the center of the decal towards the outer edges until all excess water has been removed, and wrinkles and air bubbles have been smoothed out.
Allow the decorated ware to dry for at least 4 to 6 hours (preferably 24 hours) before firing.
The suggested temperature to fire is cone 015°, 016° or 017° for the regular decals and 018° for the gold decals.
