decals not sticking to powder

Recommended Posts

I'm sure this must have been discussed, but I can't seem to find any threads. 

I had a couple frames powdered, and applied reproduction decals, and the decals are just pealing away on their own.

Does anyone have advice for remedying this problem?

Thanks!

Both of these sets were silk screened on foil decal material.  One of the sets, I had repopped some years ago by Borden Decal, who printed all the BMX and skate decals for SF Bay Area brands BITD, so I suspect quality isn't the issue.  I'm still experimenting, but I gave the powder a light rub with acetone (enough that the shine is diminished, but only slightly), and the decals in those test areas seem to not be peeling after a week, so fingers crossed.
