The new decals are on the way...they look great. WARNING: Be very careful separating the transfer from the hard paper...there are many . (periods) and the center "dot" of the O in LOST can easily be left behind so pull it off slow and go back to pick up any loose strays. Also you might want to get the surface soaking wet before you apply the tranfer so you can slightly adjust. These are going fast!!! |

Yeah, I never would have thought to get the window wet...I would have actually dried it first if you hadn't suggested it. It worked great though! And the decal looks AWESOME! great job on the design Don! |

From applying car decals I found that if you take a spray bottle and put a very weak (couple drops only) solution of liquid dish soap in the water and spray it on the surface it will actually allow you to slide the deacl around a bit if you have to and will also allow you to very easily squeegee out any bubbles in the decal. You end up with a perfectly smooth decal with no need to go back and pin $& those pesky air bubbles under the surface. I was skeptical when I first heard of this trick figuring the soap would prevent adhesion but it works absolutely beautifully. Squeegee it out with a slightly wet paper or cloth towel and it's perfect. It works terrific on large decals as well because it gives you time to move and place them before they actually adhere permanently. |
