Quoted from CaptChaos_02:

So here's my HS story. I worked on my pin in the garage and sanded my PF down. Most was down to bare wood in the main PF. After sanding I applied sticker DRY straight to sanded PF. No problems lining up sticker. I didn't apply anything on top of PF but I did put down a PF protector on top of sticker instead of clear coat. So bare wood, sticker, PF protector. Looked great for weeks. Never left the garage. Several months past still in the garage looking good. I moved the pin to a new location. Put in the back of a pickup truck and drove 2 hours mid day approx 80 degrees out. Took HS out and set up to notice that the PF exposed to the sun wrinkled so bad it is unplayable with PF protector on. So in 2 hours in the back of a truck it wrinkled so bad it was unplayable. Contacted Jeff and he said 'this has never happened before' and would send me a new one. Almost sounded upset that I mentioned what had happened. Once I received the new sticker, I tried to contact him with his suggestions to install and he never responded.
update: been a few months. Still no response from Jeff and now entire PF is wrinkled. Going to try clear coat PF first before applying sticker. Not sure if I would need to clear coat on top of sticker if using PF protector.

This is pretty much what i would expect would happen if the overlay sticker isnt locked down by clearcoat on both sides, underneath and over the top. they are just too stretchy and fragile.
