Applying new decals

(1/4) > >>

Ste:
Don't mean to sound daft here but has anyone got any tips or advice with applying new decals to frames etc,I've heard things like using a hair dryer to warm frame before applying,just shit scared messing up some expensive long awaited decals...cheers

Just tried ringing you Ste - easiest way:

You'll need:

Fairy Liquid (other brands are available)
Spray bottle (optional)
Water
Masking tape (optional)
Spongy/rubbery kitchen squeegy thing or use your fingers

1. Clean frame where the deecs are going. You can put the deecs up against the frame and mark where you want em with masking tape for a guide and remove it when deecs in desired position.
2. Cup of water + 1 or 2 drops of Fairy Liquid. If you've got a spray bottle pop the fairy+water in that.
3. Apply fairy and water to frame where the deecs are going.
4. Pop on decal, slide around till in desired position.
5. Use sponge/squeegy or REALLY CAREFULLY use credit card from the centre of the deec and push the water outwards.
6. Deec should now be stuck in desired position to frame :)

Or you could just peel the back off and bang them on like they did bitd. It's only our adult ocd that wants them perfect  :LolLolLolLol:

Dan is, of course, right in his method  :daumenhoch:

Dannywhac:
To be honest Clint - that's what I do n'all  :LolLolLolLol:

Just didn't want Ste doing it the old fashioned way and ballsing it up - as he lives near me and knows where I live  ;D

And apply. Always do it that way.
