I have 2 NFC rods that I am building for a customer and when I went to put the decal on they provided it did not stick. No directions came with the decal, but the last blank I got from batson had instructions that said to heat the decal, even though it was actually a peel and stick that I'm used to. So I tried heating the NFC decal and got it to partially stick, ripping it apart as I removed the backing and ultimately ruining it. Has anyone ran into these? And whats the proper methed to apply them?

It's a dry tranfer decal.

Zachary,

I have only built one NFC Blank, (a d/s rod a fiend had to have). I too screwed up the decal when trying to apply it to the blank. I contacted NFC and the nice lady there sent me a new decal with written instruction on how to apply it. It was a lot different then the normal "sticky back" decal.

i would suggest to put a coat of finish on the area first Then the decal There decall seems to go on the same as all decals from rod blank makers that are given with there blanks

I have never herd of having to heat a decal ???

I watched the instructions on line and still screwed it up. Just a little area of the decal warped a little on application. I think this happens if you allow the decal to move even slightly after starting the application. It doesn't take much. So I took it off, designed, printed, and applied my own.

I too have had this issue and had to resort to a custom decal.

the dry transfers are a pain to apply. I had a friend incorporate their artwork into my standard decal/logo and had Decal Connection make a peel-n-stick.

You must have gotten North Fork's permission to do that, is that correct?

If you have proof that you purchased the blank, Decal Connection will make the decal for you. Providing you send them the artwork. I also have Rainshadow, Forecast, Shikari, CTS and St. Croix artwork. And since becoming a NFC ARB, I have a whole folder of art, provided by them.
