spookymufu Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Okay, I have gotten to the point where I want to apply the barcode on the back but, I have no idea how to do it, any advice on how to apply the decal? It doesnt conform to the round area very well and I dont want it to be all crooked. I am using TrooperBay decals so it's the peel and rub on kind, I was planning on lining it up even with the rear trap and aligning the bottom with the vents on the opposite side, does that sound correct? Anywho, any advice on applying it is appreciated as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 righty... I use Mike's decals. Best way I've found to do it. Line up the decal in the correct place (you're alignment sounds OK). Then put then entire decal on the lid, by running your finger right down the middle (horizontally) of all the stripes. Leaving the top and bottoms of the stripes to not stick to the lid. This gets them all in the right place. Now you need to smooth up and down outwards from the centre where you've already stuck it. I do the ends first, then the middle and then alternate from ends to middle to make sure they space evenly. The backing paper will crease between the stripes, but that's a good thing, because you don't want the stripes to crease and the backing paper be OK. Hope that makes sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
