Attack from Mars
Bally, 1995I have previously done back box decal replacements, but I am about to tackle my first full cabinet job.
I'm pretty confident about how to do it but thought that watching someone else might give me some pointers.
No concerns about removing the old decals and prepping the cabinet, just a little unsure about applying the new larger decals.
Does anyone have links to helpful videos for decal placement? I have searched YouTube but did not find anything that was very helpful.
There are dozens of videos. There is a wet method, and a dry method.

If they are actual decals and not screened/painted, then I've seen someone use a heat gun and scraper.
If it's screened/painted, you have to sand it.
They are decals and I was going to go the heat gun way but before I started I figured I would ask. Thanks for the quick reply.
I used the heat gun and scraper and in about 2 hours it was nice and clean. Of course it is 91 today and muggy.

Hey ForceFlow, thanks. These were helpful. Here's a photo of my final results before the final hardware is installed.
Did not have a heat gun, I actually power sanded off all of the original decals.
