| if you use Testors waterslide decal paper designed for InkJet printers AND you also seal it with their spray fixing product according to the directions supplied with the spray can, you will not get bleeding when the decal is soaked and applied per the directions. you can find both of these products at most hobby shops that also carry supplies for RC aircraft
all the best,

heyt thanks for the compliment, I did do these myself BUT ONLY the neck not the fretboards, I ordered fretboards from warmoth, I would have failed at frets, also I will have to look into that testors thing
