Decals

[Dane]

Anyone have any tips when putting stock decals on the sled? Are they put on like a sticker, where no additional adhesive is needed?

 

[NOS-PRO]

You are correct Dane.

Just like a regular sticker. If they are over 12 inches, get help from someone, so you don't get a wrinkle or bubble in the new sticker.

Use a wet application and you won't need a second person or have to worry about wrinkles. You can make an application fluid by mixing 1 quart of water, 1 drop of dish soap, and 2-3 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Don't shake it, just roll to container around to mix so you don't get a ton of soap suds. Spray it on the decal, slide it into position on the piece, and squeegee the fluid out from underneath.

Boxers29,

Can you do that with a sticker that is sticky on the back?

 

[Boxers29]

Yes, that's exactly what the method is for. It helps you position the sticker, and eliminate bubbles and wrinkles.

Edited to add: I should mention that there are professional application fluids made specifically for this purpose, but the mixture I posted works just fine.

air and water out.

Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it. I'm not totally convinced yet to put them back on. I kinda like the black look.
