Need decal help

[dremmick]

Im getting really frustrated. I just put a second set of decals on my one side panel since the first ones fell off. Well I cleaned the surface with alcohol and heat the surface with a heat gun. I applied the stickers a couple days ago and there pealing of already. And ideas on how to allow them to stay intact? Spray adhesive?

3M sells a prep adhesive for plastics that works really well, i have never had a decal fall off using it

Do you know the 3m part number? Would I be able to reuse the decals I just put on?

I did the same thing. Usually they stick really good just doing the heat and prep. When/if they do peel I put super glue on the corners or the whole sticker. Works great

I've always had good results with the spray adhesive, just make sure you get good coverage especially around the edges and let it get tacky to the touch (but not dry) before applying the decal.

What kind of decals? Where did they come from?

stock oem decals. Yammy RX1 do you spray the plastic or the sticker itself?

Yamaha should know better...
High bond decal materials are out there.

The spray will work either way but it will be a lot cleaner if you spray the decal. Clean and warm up the plastic, spray the decal inside if you can and wait until the adhesive doesn't string when you touch it. Press it on starting in the center and work towards the edges. Is there any way to test it on a small piece first so that you don't ruin the whole decal if it still doesn't work? Was there areas around the decal that you can peel off?
