Wow - Ordered this Decal from Classic Aracdes (Whole PF) and applied it a few days ago. Looked really good was nice and smooth from a pretty bad PF.

Loaded the game up in the car to take it elsewhere, went back in the house for maybe 30 minutes and came back out and to my Horror, the decal was bubbled and rippled and ruined.

Now Granted it was a warm day for Michigan (80's) but I cannot believe this happened in just 30 minutes in the car. I'm not sure if there is a defect in the glue or what but this was totally crazy. The Plan was eventually to clearcoat it or something.

Thoughts?

Side note too - There was no PF Glass. Just lockdown bar and the game. The game was in a Minivan in the middle so there wasn't much direct sunlight on it maybe a little , just the heat from the car.

Yeah, regardless of the heat from the car, the heat from the game/inserts (or any other building) would have likely eventually caused this.
