it's the wrong way round for waterslide, isn't it. The glue, or starch or whatever it is, is usually between the print and the backing. Waterslides seem much better if you use decalfix or microsol/fix instead of water. I used laser printed waterslides for some push bike frames; they came out pretty ...

If you mean a Paddock stand, it's on the list of roundtuits infront of me. I saved a garden chair frame from the bin to make the stand from, I know it's a bit thin but I have it.
