Is it a waterslide or adhesive?? Try using a pin to poke a hole where the air bubble is forcing the air out. Mike Re: air bubbles under a decal

This technique will prevent airbubbles under stickers. I've used it extensively when I was into back yard motorcycle mechanics and applying decals to curved surfaces like helments. First, clean the area where the sticker will be applied thoughally w/ denatured alcohol. Then get a small bowl of warm soapy water. I use a mild liquid dish washing soap). Take off all the backing of the sticker to expose the adhesive side. Dip sticker into the bowl of warm soapy water. Apply. With this technique, you can still move the sticker around until the water drys. Get the sticker in exactly the position you want and 'squeggy' out the airbubbles and excess water by rubbing the sticker w/ a paper towel. Let dry a day, then add CP Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
