Making Decals stick
« on: September 06, 2010, 05:25 PM »
I've just stuck some Landing Gear decals on some landing gears and they keep peeling up.

Anyone got any tricks for making them stay down  :daumenhoch:

The hairdryer trick normally works but take it easy otherwise the decal will shrink and curl  :daumenhoch:
