Has any one found a good  white and clear decal paper to use on a inkjet
printer yet, that is available in the UK.

I got some from Hannant's not used it yet but it is made by Experts-Choice
in the US, so must be good.

I haven't found a good inkjet paper even here in states. The last I
tried was Micro Marks.  I LOVE their copy/laser decal paper.  Their
inkjet paper has a good decal material for the sheet, but does not work
well with inkjet printers :-)  The printing reticulates and leaves a
fine pattern.  This was with both a Canon and an Epson printer.  Did not
 have an HP to try.

I have also tried all those tricks like various sprays, or rubbing the
paper with baking soda before printing.  Nothing works.

I have gone back to making color decals by printing out on plain paper
and taking printout and copy/laser printer to copy shop.

I DO make black decals by using my cheap black and white laser printer
on the copy/laser paper.  Works great.  With laser printer prices
plummeting (I saw a sale on black and white laser printer today for
fifty bucks), I may buy a color laser soon just for decals.

Have you tried Elmer's Washable School Glue Gel? You can buy a small
bottle anywhere school supplies are sold.

Stir water into it until it is foamy. Brush it on and it settles down
nicely.

Try decal sheet of Bare Metal Foil Company , they come in two versions
(inktjet of laserprint) and two variants (white or clear).

Gives good results!
