Built a new (not 2nd hand) slaters break kit. Not brilliant to ok as it
goes. However when it came to the transfers there was a distinct lack of
glue on them. Anyone else had such problems and what did they do ?

Cheers,
Simon

Are they waterslide transfers?

If so, soak them off onto a knife blade. Apply a little diluted PVA,
then stick them down in position.

This works for me (though usually because I've fiddled around with the
transfers so long that I've effectively wiped the glue off!).

Wish they were, can handle them. Done the first lot by seperating from
backing paper as per instructions then give thin coat of water based matt
varnish. Wait till dry then oil based over complete vehicle.
