JLester Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 When water sliding a photo copy, what color decal is better, White or Clear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I use the clear. That way I can spray whatever color background I want on the bait. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLester Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thank' Ben, I've been using clear and doing the same also, but Hobby Lobby was out of clear so I bought white. I'm sitting here now thinking I will use foil tape under the white to help out. What do ya"ll think? Crappie pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I can't really say as I've never used the white decal paper, but I would think that the white paper would hide any reflective properties of the foil. Unless you were just using the foil so you could emboss a scale pattern into it. The pattern might show up better on the white paper. I'd print one out and see how it looks. Let me know how it turns out. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used it over a black lure and there was no difference had I painted the lure white. I also tried the clear on foil. It doesn't show up real good, but, it kinda gives you some guidelines should you want to paint over it. Kinda like painting by the numbers for me.
