bluestringer Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Decaling is going slow. It takes almost 30 minutes sitting in water for the decals to release. And some of them are breaking apart trying to get them positioned. No more Power Slide decals from Mike's for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would probably be happy to send you another sheet. It's not his fault if Powerslide sold him a bad sheet. Mike is probably the best vendor we have.

It's the powerslide decals I was referring to. But It was taking so long to get them to release I started leaving them in the water too long and apparently that was causing them to break. I have now figured out about the right time to leave them in to get them to release and stay together. So it's working out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I think part of my problem is the cold weather here, I don't have much heat in my work shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
