It is a nifty decal, I haven't found the proper place to stick it yet so I haven't tried to remove it from it's protective covering. Are instructions really required?
Nice work Peter L (or whoever was responsible for its design)
By now most members have probably received their copy of the Shortwing Piper News and have seen the new decal. Thanks go to Peter Lubig for the great idea!
To apply it to the surface of your choice, note that there are two pieces of backing, or paper on the decal, one on the back that protects the adhesive side and one on the front that protects the face. Remove the rear piece first, place the decal where you want it and stick it on. If you really want to be fancy, put a drop of dish washing soap in a spray bottle filled with water, and spray the solution on the surface where the decal will go. This will allow for initial repositioning. It also allows the removal of air bubbles using a soft rag, a small squeegee, or similar. Just gently rub the decal and smooth any bubbles to the outer edges where they'll slide out the side. I've watched vinyl sign guys do this and have used the technique myself to apply large decals and graphics.
Once the decal is in place, remove the piece of paper from the front side then stand back and admire your work!
