Big Blue has inspired some purchases

Yep, Charlie - I'm also a firm believer in sliding them on with a good amount of water and softening them.  My error was trying to side the whole decal while trying to fit the thing under the railing.  Because it was soft it ended up breaking in a couple of places and got irreparable.  Good "tip" on the Q-tip - I have plenty of those!

Decals are finito - here's a shot of the other side of the beast.

   

I'll probably wait for everything to dry and set up nicely before hitting it with a coat of Dullcote.  Still have to add some LEDs to the lighting harness - hope to get to that tomorrow since I'm off from work.
