OK.... those of you who are complaining about haveing to cut out decals... listen up from a pro at decal applying... Ok? First off... Batman stop offering things to people. that is not the answer...
As most of you know by now if you'd looked into any of the model albums i have in the profile side, you'll see i've got graphics on a few of my cars. Now... I can lay a decal down with the best of them. So I'm gonna give a little tip.
What pair of snippers you use, can mean sucess of failure. Failure is a dress rehearsal for accomplishment of sucess. Now...
What I use are two different kinds of snippers... Singer thread snippers are expensive in places like Sally's beauty salon. However walmart in their craft dept. has gold snippers that look like a stork on the handle design. Pick up a pair of these. Next... a pair of curved snippers. Hobby shop will have these. They are used for cutting wheel wells out in 1:10th scale Lexon bodies. Go to TowerHobbies.com and look up curved sissors. You might get lucky.
Use the tip to cut, not the entire length of the cutters. Take your time and stay just by the line or a tiny fraction in front of it. Rotate the paper sheet, and the sissors. not just one or the other. You also may want to pick up #11 Exacto Razor blades, and an Exacto knife kit. These come in handy when seperating the adhesive back on the sticker sheet. then you should not have a problem laying the decal down. In some cases use a small hard edge ... like a credit card. to work air bubbles out from the inside to the outside of the label.
Any questions about Label applications or anything of that nature, feel free to contact me direct.
YO JOE!
