logo color bleed over

[bcoyne]

I spray painted tube black and let dry for 48 hrs. Logo was just printed off on regular printer paper from printer and the cut edges where touched up with a Sharpie permanent market to hide white edges exposed from cutting and also let dry for a few days. Then coated tube with Mod Podge to glue logo down. After this dried I re-coated tube and logo with another coat of Mod Podge and let dry. Cast in polyester casting resin from BG ARtforms. Turned just fine.

You can see that I am getting lots of black color bleed over int the white edge.
Would changing over to aluminate work better?

This is a pen I designed for my local MS150 Bike ride fundraising.

Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

i think this may work better: Testors » Testors » Modeling Tools & Accessories » Decals » Decal Paper - Clear

i believe there is a thread with instructions on how its done
seems to me it would be put on tube make your mold solution and go

paper bleeds or falls apart for me

Bob, you don't mention coating the decal with a couple coats of clear acrylic lacquer? Try that, it should stop any bleed over.
