Author	Topic:   BW decal install
Eric	posted 07-30-2001 09:31 PM ET (US)         My new decals arrived today from Magic Brush in Deland, FL. There wasn't any instructions included. Before I call, any tips on installation? I assume that the letters/logo peel off of the backing, rather than the entire piece of clear plastic going on the hull. I'll go through cetacea to look at getting the placement correct.

TightPenny	posted 07-31-2001 12:32 PM ET (US)             I used the soapy water in the spray bottle to install the name and registration numbers on the sides of my Montauk when I rigged it. Went on like a charm. The little bit of soap in the water allowed the new decals to slide around until they were properly sited. Used the squeegee to get all the water out and affix the decal.

MilwaukeeWhaler	posted 07-31-2001 02:20 PM ET (US)             Do you spray the windex on the vinyl decal or the surface? How long do you let it dry before you remove the backing?
