Hi @cleat is there a good way you use to get them to stick? I had to reposition mine from him on my 312 to line up, and they are now lifting on the edge and in the center of the Toro. I have heated them up but they will stick for a few hours then lift again. I am eventually getting some for my 308 and I figured I’d get the process down first where they will stick well. Thanks!

I clean the surface the decal will be applied to and my fingers with this.

 

I think rubbing alcohol would work as well.

You just need a clean degreased and dewaxed surface for the decal to adhere properly.

Could I salvage the lifted parts of the decals by carefully peeling them up and using this, or would it be better to start over?

I'm not sure.

Maybe Terry at redoyourhorse.com could answer that better as he makes the decals (well, mine at least).

Ok, I bought mine through him too.
