QUADROPHENIA:



well the wife had a go tonight with some chromes ones and they didnt turn out to bad, little bit one sided, tried the soapy water but didnt really make a difference and yes put shed loads on the frame, I was gonna have a go put my trotters aint no good

steve:
atomiser - plant sprayer, filled to top, with one-yes one! blob of fairy - this is just to break the surface tension of the h2o to stop the water balling up

the method is known as hingeing, when applying masking tape to one end, to aid positioning.
-using another piece at the other end,and then tearing through it, then taking the back off, wetting and re alligning the torn tape.
this method is a must, when applying dry

stiff felt squeegees are available, these will not scratch your new decals, but a duster wrapped around a finger is better on a tube anyway!
