Ordered 2 sets of TAF and WWH2O. All the edges are curled and have waves on all of them due to the shipping. They either were not shipped with end caps on the tubes or the end caps fell off during shipping.

Just applied a set of Pete's decals on my White Water cabinet yesterday.I've applied 4 sets of the silkscreen kind but not this kind. As of right now I would say the silk screen decals are way easier to apply and you get a better result. I used a roller, cloth, felt squeegee and a heat gun. I got a million air bubbles. Can you use the wet method for applying these type of decals? I have a Addams Family to do next with Pete's decals and I'm not looking forward to the same results. Luckily I bought an extra set of both just because of this. Hopefully Pete will come out with a video that shows the correct way to apply these decals without getting a million air bubbles.
Quoted from rotordave:I use Jim McCunes dry method and have no issues.

As has been stated, a normal sign writing squeegee will lightly scratch these decals. I just use a microfibre cloth in my hand and rub the decal on as I go.
Here's the results ... haven't coloured up the corners yet but almost done.

The decals in that YouTube video are a lot larger than Retro's. Those look like silkscreen decals.
