I actually had to look up the word "screed". I too am NOT a fan of pressure-sensitive decals. IMO the worse set of pressure sensitive decals and the hardest to apply are (were) the decals for the Estes 1:30 scale Spaceship One. IMO second place for decal suckiness goes to Quest's Aerospace One. Opinions vary.

John, From what I gather here, you work (or worked) for Estes? Is that correct? Remember, I'm still new to the forum, and haven't learned who's who, and all the wherewithal that comes from time being here for a while. Next, can a person tell the difference between a kit with self adhesive decals and one with water slide decals just by looking at the color of the decal backing paper? The reason I say this is that all the rockets I saw at my LHS had yellow backed decals and were turned in such as way as I couldn't see the designs on them. I recently picked up a Mean Machine, and a CC Express (both for parts) that I picked up there both had self adhesive decals with a yellow backing paper. Jim .

This is my second round of employeement at Estes which started three years ago. Current water slide decals are on a white background. As stated it appears the self stick decals are on a yellow background. I believe both of these come with a yellow protective sheet over the printed side to protect them in the packaging. I would say it would be very difficult to to tell which kind is included in the package. John Boren |

Custom uses self adhesives for many of their current kits. I like the rockets for their value but not their stickers. |
