    Hi Guys:

    A question for those who have done flame polishing a number of times.

    I have never flame polished ramps before but want to give it a go.

    I saw on a Youtube video someone said that if you have decals on the ramp, you should flame around them.

    The ramp that I want to flame polish has a number of small, intricate decals on it that have ball wear on them, that really needs flame polishing out.

    Am I asking for trouble, if I quickly run the flame over the decals, also? What will happen to the decals?

    Thanks in advance, for advice and input.

    Quoted from Gotpins:

    Let’s see the ramps or name the game.
    I’ve flamed over decals with no issues so long as the decal is completely stuck to the ramp. If the decal is curled up a bit, the flame shrinks the decal fast. So don’t do that.

    Sorry guys.... omitted to name the game...

    It's a 'Scared Stiff' and the decal is small bats, flying around.

    It's on the underside of the ramp and is stuck well, with no curling.

    I don't know if a replacement decal is available.
