applying decals

Post by Edward 96GTS »

when applying decals to the airbox(daytona), is it useful to spray soapy water to avoid air bubbles? then squeegee out excess water.
thanks,

Hi Ed,

Some of these decals are very delicate, and the older they are, the more they are prone to breaking apart. I may not use soapy water, but I try to keep all the surfaces wet while I carefully position the decal, then carefully wick away the excess water with a paper towel. I let the rest of the decal dry naturally once it is in position. Sometimes with bubbles that won't squeegee out, I found puncturing them with a pin will let the air out from under the decal.

Good luck!
