Body skin/wing skin application ????

rcrunr1 Wrote:How can these large vinyl "decals" be applied accurately/ without bubbles?Some of those things are so large it would seem pretty difficult to do.

Can something be put on the surface (like water or motor spray) to delay them sticking to the surface? I am reminded of putting decals on plastic models when I did those a long time ago....

I like stickers cause I cant paint. :p: You can use blue windex to delay the stickyness and as Tune said Heat from a hair dryer to loosen up and bend or stretch for all those curves. You need to keep rubbing out the windex and wiping with a paper towel. If you do get a bubble, which you will, slice a small hole with an xacto and push the windex out. Use the heat but dont push too hard when hot, sticker will stretch.
