I'm just curious if anyone hates applying stickers more than I do. It's a necessary evil, I know, but it's still an evil.

I wish it were easier to get them off the sheet. I have folded/ruined so many stickers because of not being able to peel them...Well when I have nails witch is not very often they peel off kind of easy.
I will have to agree with Bionic! I would much rather apply them myself then a factory worker that could probably care less about the placement of stickers. |

i peel them off of the sheet with the assistance of a box cutter. the ones i get 5 for a dollar at dollar tree. they extend out to about 5" cuz of the ''breakaway" blade sections. anyway, i slip the end of the razor under the corner of the decal, peel it away from the sheet while pressing my thumb against the decal and blade, and then barely place it where it goes, straighten it and then use my free hand's thumb to hold it and smash it down while i slip the razor from under the edge.
absolutely love doing it. and i too, hate, hate, hate crooked factory applied decals. maybe that will cease seeing that the window box may be on its way out. |

I use a pair of tweezers to remove them from the sheet and apply them accurately. Personally, I'd really appreciate it if Hasbro would stop pre-applying stickers to the vehicles. Those factory workers have no regard for making anything look good.

I really don't like to. I say that because I always make them look so bad.
So I just give the job to my nephew. He is really good at it. |

WOW!
Thank you so much... I feel kind of like a dumb ass now that I know about this. I had to buy two rattlers because I mucked up a couple of the bigger sticker trying to remove them. I'll be sure to implement this strategy next time. |

When removing stickers, 1st heat them up with a hair dryer. This will loosen up the glue and they will come off much easier.

I just put my stickers on my Firebat (first vehicle) and it was fun as heck... even though took me almost two hours (kept putting them on crooked and had to try and try again). LOL.
Following the instructions is almost impossible for me so I just looked on the box, but I let my nephew play with one of my Firebats (got two on sale at clearance price) so that one had scratches on it. ARGH! LOL. So I had to strategically place some stickers over the scratches and now I'm happy again. LOL. |
