I am restoring an old aluminium milk can and I would like put on it a transfer which has a crest. By transfer, I mean the old fashioned type you wet and then attach. Does anyone know of a company making such transfers?

That Google search just produces vinyl labels.

What you need is water slide transfers.These people will probably be able to produce what you want:

Water slide paper is available to print your own. Has anyone ever tried it?

It might be worth searching the various model forums - I know there are modellers out there who make their own transfers, although I believe modern technology now favours dry transfers (whatever they may be!).

Hi Riley
Technically you arecorrect.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deca

It is another example of language being changed and not necessarily for the better.
