750Rush:
If this technique is used, how can the decal be reapplied if the adhesive is gone?

it cant (well not very well anyway) this method is used so they can be scanned or sent to someone for reproducing.

750Rush:
Got you. Thanks.

Does the hairdryer technique render the decal unsable too? Could it be reapplied if taken off with care without stretching? I've never tried and just wondered out of interest.

Del:
the hairdryer makes removal easier by heating up 7 softening the adhesive, the only trouble i find is that it also makes the actual decal extrememly soft and prone to stretching, although application of heat again should cause the decal to return itself to near is normal size... it'll stil be sticky and you probably be able to use it again but it wont look too great.

pickle:
bang them in the over afterwards and have some shrinkydink decals  ;D
