Re: Putting legs on machine with new decals



I can't understand why anyone puts them on dry?

Go down to the auto parts store and get some "window film application
solution". Use this instead of soap/water - it was designed for this
exact purpose and leaves no residue. Makes the installation much
easier and the stickers actually adhere BETTER than the dry method.
The solution activates the glue and makes it stick like mad. I have
tested the different methods using some left over strips of AFM decals
and there is no doubt the stickers using the solution are the hardest
to peel back up...

Wait a couple of days and it's good to go. Push the legs upward as
you tighten the bolts to keep them from sliding as the machine is
played.

 No matter what you do the legs will indent the decal, I have heard of
some people actually cutting the decal around the legs with a razor
blade to prevent them from wrinkling beyond the leg foot print ?

Can anyone confirm this practice?

 good luck
