    Cleaned up a set of drops. Bought new decals. Would like them to last a long time. Wondering best way to use Mylar. What's the cut look like?

    It's for a set of very clean Ron Burgundy Williams 7 drop targets.

    Thanks,

    Is the idea to cut to the sticker itself, and apply to the sticker?

    Or is it to cut the sticker smaller, and make sure the mylar sticks to the drop itself?

    What about getting it to wrap around (or not?)

    Smart. does it make most sense to just layer 2 the same size as the decal?

    Can we ask for a pic to see how you are doing it?

    Quoted from cody_chunn:

    Then I stain the edge of the paper decal with a highlighter or marker as close to the color of the plastic drop target body so the white paper edge is camouflaged.

    Don't follow this step?

    Are you guys talking about the EDGE of the paper?

    Oh, so if the sticker is BLUE, and the paper is WHITE and the drop target is RED, then you'd see a sliver of white, which would make the blue drop target sticker not blend in as much with the red drop when looked on edgewise -- is that the idea?

    Mylaring your drops adds gloss and light reflection to the game as well.
    Recommended.

    I wish I had known about this when I added new drops to a few games, 5 years ago -- I have some ball-strike lines now on them...
