Matho Models White Chalk Number Waterslide Decals

Matho Models 80030 provides an A6 sheet of small white chalk waterslide number decals in seven different heights. Suitable for all scales, the sheet offers a useful choice of digit sizes ranging from 1.5mm through to 6mm, with each height clearly identified to make selecting the required size straightforward.

The numbers use separated film, allowing the individual decals to come away one by one without the need to cut precisely to their edges. Their ultra-thin construction helps the decals adapt well to different surfaces, while high-definition printing provides crisp results even across the smallest details. The white printing is accurate and colourfast, with a semi-matte finish.

Seven Chalk Number Heights

The A6 sheet contains white chalk digits in 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm heights. Having seven different sizes on one sheet provides a broad choice when selecting numbers for an individual modelling project. The height markings on the sheet make it easy to identify the required digits while working.

These Matho Models chalk number decals are suitable for all scales, allowing the most appropriate of the seven supplied heights to be selected according to the requirements of the design.

Applying the Waterslide Chalk Numbers

Cut out the required decal with a sharp knife, then place it in water for approximately 5 to 10 seconds to loosen it from the carrier paper. Gently slide the digit into position using tweezers. Decal softener, such as Micro Set and Sol, can be used for better adhesion, particularly when applying the decals to non-flat surfaces.

Once positioned, use tissue paper and apply light pressure over the decal to remove excess water or decal softener and fix the number in place. Varnish can then be airbrushed over the decal for protection. Semi-matte or matte varnish can be used to reduce glare if required, followed by the usual weathering process to blend the white chalk numbers into the finished design.
