Applying graphics -- any "gotchas"?

[QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1324047, member: 77507"] Use rubbing alcohol to prep the plastic. I've had good success using straight water out of a fine mist spray bottle. It will allow the graphic to be tacky on the plastic, but easily pulled up if yoo notice an air bubble or need to reposition. I go at it like Oldguy, a little at a time while slowly pulling away the backing. Most of the graphics I've done need to be stretched a little in areas to get all the bolt holes and contours lined up.Don't worry too much about the tight areas in the shrouds and stuff until you get the main surface down. Once its down I use a credit card inside a couple socks to apply moderate pressure to push out any moisture and stick it down good. I avoid heat if at all possible, it seems to make the glue less sticky. It usually takes me about a half hour to do a shroud. [/QUOTE]
