- Sticky stickers that you just need to stick after peeling off the backing.
In both cases, it is necessary to cover the sliders with a top layer.

Kamifubuki are laid out on a dried layer of colored varnish with a dots or wax pencil, and then covered with a top. One layer may not be enough to level the surface, another one will be required.
