    Getting ready to install MB cabinet side art.

    Any pointers so I can get it done right the first time as far as alignment?

    Thanks

    remove the play field and save yourself a lot of headache. I did not, looks ok now, but holy cow could I have saved some frustration.

    If you don't want to remove the play field, be sure to cut the backing a couple times to make it easier to remove around the vertical PF, there is not too much clearance there.

    When I did my WW side art recently. We centered the art weighted half of it down. Then pealed the backing off half way and cut the backing off. Then we had a small rolling pin and a large one. We throw them away after 20 sec and use are hands went slow. You can't really feel the air bubbles when you use your hands. Just have a friend hold up decal at about a 25 degree angle and you smothen and push the air out. You will need a new razor to do all the triming after the decal is laid. Don't cut the decal until it's laid. Use a stiff razor.

    Has anyone done this with the legs on and PF glass trim channels as well?

    Just curious, people do it different ways. I understand that. See what happens, but I'm not there yet.

    I have two games that I may attempt. We'll see.
