Sailboat Decal Sheet

This sailboat decal sheet carries nineteen sailing-vessel silhouettes in solid black. The designs span a wide range of vessel types: square-rigged tall ships with two and three masts, classic fore-and-aft rigged schooners, and trim modern sloops and small dinghies with triangular sails. Each motif is a clean, flat silhouette that reads crisply on glass, from small accent shapes up to larger focal elements, all on one sheet.

Fusible glass decals are water-slide transfers fired onto the surface of pre-fired glass. Because the decal bonds to the glass surface rather than fusing as a compatible glass layer, the sheet works with glass of any COE, no COE matching required. Soak a cut decal in clean, room-temperature water for 30 to 60 seconds until it slides freely from its paper backing, position it on clean, dry, pre-fired glass, and smooth trapped water and air outward from the center with a soft squeegee or your fingertip. Let the piece dry completely before loading the kiln.

What styles of sailing vessel appear on this sheet?
The sheet features square-rigged tall ships with multiple masts, classic two-masted schooners with fore-and-aft sails, and modern single-masted sloops and small dinghies with triangular rigs. All designs are solid black flat shapes, giving the sheet a graphic nautical character that suits both traditional and contemporary fused glass work.

Do these decals work with the COE glass I already have?
Yes. Because the decal fires onto the surface of pre-fired glass rather than fusing as a compatible glass layer, no COE matching is needed. Clean, fully pre-fired glass of any COE accepts these decals.

How do I apply a water-slide decal from this sheet?
Cut the decal away from the sheet and soak it in clean, room-temperature water for 30 to 60 seconds until it slides freely from its backing paper. Slide it into position on clean, dry, pre-fired glass, then smooth water and air outward from the center with a soft squeegee or fingertip. Let the piece dry completely before firing.

How should I prepare the glass before applying a decal?
The glass must be clean, smooth, and fully pre-fired. Remove any kiln wash residue, oils, or fingerprints with a clean, lint-free cloth before soaking and positioning the decal. Residue or oils under the decal can cause it to lift, bubble, or fail to bond during firing.

Working Notes

Apply decals only to thoroughly clean, pre-fired glass. After soaking and sliding the decal into position, work out all bubbles and standing water, then let the piece dry completely, at least several hours, before loading the kiln. Trapped moisture or air under the decal can cause lifting or distortion during firing. Cut individual motifs from the sheet before soaking if you only need a few designs.

Suggested Firing Schedule (the manufacturer's recommendation, a starting point only): Firing range is roughly 1240 to 1370 degrees F; these designs fire toward the lower end to preserve density. This is a suggested starting point, not a guarantee of results. Every kiln fires differently, so test a small piece first and anneal for the thickness of your glass. Ventilate the kiln well up to 1000 degrees and fire slowly below 500 degrees.
50 DPH to 185 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 20 min.
150 DPH to 300 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 15 min.
250 DPH to 500 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 15 min.
600 DPH to 1000 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 10 min.
Then to 1240 to 1370 degrees F, HOLD/SOAK 10 min.
Anneal for the thickness of the glass.
