Great tip. Thanks, Kevin. Would have liked to have had that tip yesterday. Laid down the window stickers of the FSS MT10. Windshield sticker did not want to lay down without creases where it curves over onto the roof. Driver side sticker had a crease in it from the sticker sheet getting folded in packing or shipping.On the decals, peel the backing about half way off, then cut it there. Then, remove sbout a 1/8" strip from the backing and reinstsll it on the decal. You will be left with a 1/8" strip of backing missing from the center of the decal. Now place the decal on the body and position it while trying not to press down on the exposed strip in the center. Once you have the decal lined up, use your finger to press down the exposed area really good. Then, you can lift the decal, curling it back over itself, and kinda roll the backing out as you press the decal down from center out. Works like a charm.
Generally, use a mixture of warm water and Johnson's baby shampoo on the body surface to enable me to position the sticker on application. I'll try your dry application method next time. Always up for something new to aid in a build.
Anyway, yesterday was warm, ~70degF. Took the project outside and set the stickers in the afternoon sun to soften them up. Then able to work out the blisters and creases. Me and stickers be done for a while. Whew!
And guys, you and Sharon were right. FSS MT10 looks better with them applied. Cheers. 'AC'
