Could it be that the waterslide decals Nick has are very old stock? Last year I purchased some Claud Butler decals from Lloyd's, which I haven't used yet. The head badge, seat tube and the Reynolds ones were waterslide and the downtube one was thin vinyl because he was out of the waterslide ones in the colour I needed. Seems he's replacing waterslide with vinyl as they're used up. Is the thin vinyl just as good as waterslide under clearcoat?
