TITCH 84 #2 Posted February 1, 2014 Have you tried using an old hair drier or a heat gun to warm up the old decals, this will help soften the adhesive on the back. Any residue left you can clean off with meths/thinners or petrol... How big are the new ones and what are they Neil?? Some people like to use a slightly soapy water mix to help get them in position.... Titch 2 Anglo Traction and S1g reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 1,016 #6 Posted February 1, 2014 Yep! , If you are not familiar with applying these , Follow the advice above. Your surfaces must be smooth, thoroughly cleaned and degreased first and wiped over with a Tack Rag to remove dust and reduce static. I prefer to apply them Dry, taping in place and removing a section of the backing at a time and pressing and spreading out in a particular way using a semi rigid Roller. 1 neil reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
