Huh, I really am curious why some people are seeing this now, maybe there was a batch that had different adhesive? It's just a big sticker, not rocket science. Mine hasn't budge an inch since I installed it before I sold a single one.

My decal is constipated, it has no movements.

That would work just fine. I'm sorry a group of you seem to be having trouble.

I'll mention this to my printer, see if he has any thoughts about what might have happened.

I just emailed my printer the Star Trek order. I'll email everyone details. I got some extras, so I'll have limited stock if you weren't on my list.

I mentioned the decal peeling issue, see if he has any thoughts. Maybe there was a bad batch, or printed on weaker adhesive or something.

No problem I see you on my list, I can cover you. Welcome to Pinside!

Ha, probably plenty. My saturation is in the Shadow market.

I gotta finish this Metallica mod before I can even start something else, I've been sidetracked too many times! Spent last night cutting foam core, hoping to test some of the lighting tonight.

I would love to do that! I don't have a hookup with a printer who can handle it. I guess now that the mirrored ink is out it's not as crazy as it used to be, with the etching of a real mirror, but I still would have to get a good contact.

There's no question a mirrored backglass would be more expensive and a bigger headache. It would likely have to be a limited thing or something. But it sure sounds like fun to me!

Heh, it's a dream project for some other time, and I wouldn't go back to an old design for it, would have to be something done from the ground up for the mirroring. So not gonna be anything I've already done.

If it even ever happens. My early attempts to look into finding a printer who could handle it failed and I haven't tried seriously again since.

True, and to your credit you even offered to help me ship them! I haven't forgotten ...

Man, it's so weird that a handful of people are having issues. Never had any complaints before, and see above that even people from this same batch aren't seeing it.

I'm talking to my printer about using a stronger adhesive. It means they won't be as easy to remove later, but better than having any issues. If I need to I'll figure out replacements or something.

Super77 is a 3M brand spray adhesive, you can use any spray adhesive though, it's not key that you use that particular brand.

I really apologize to the few people who are having issues, I have no idea why. My goal is always to make sure people are 100% happy.

Yes, looks like you just missed the cutoff when I sent out the email with the details, but you're covered by the extras I ordered.

I kinda doubt I'll ever touch the SF2 translite, I can't say I have any interest in that game, sorry. Probably some cool fan art out there you could make a custom trans out of though for personal use.

I've never messed around with inside decals / blades, but it's something I guess I might try at some point. Not right this moment though, I'm too swamped with other projects to start something new, gotta keep my focus and not stretch myself too thin.

Good thought though.

I'm gonna bribe my wife with cocktails and footrubs to help me get orders packed up this weekend. I had no idea I'd be on Alien when I started this last order, all of a sudden I feel a lot more busy than I already was.

I haven't made any updates.

I guess the only thing that would really need to be added would be the medal system? I dunno, not sure it really matters if that's mentioned on the cards or not. I could look at fitting it in at some point and putting up new digital files for anyone who cared.

Speak up if you think it matters and it worth doing, you'd have to print them yourself.

Heh, I mean, let's be honest, it basically is. The difference being that I don't take anyone's money first. And if any company sent me a cease and desist I'd simply obey it, and that would be the end. No one would lose a dime. If there was any "risk" it would be all on me, not my customers.

The reality is there's simply no way to license these small projects. The up front costs for a license are so high that I'd never even break even trying to sell a relative handful of translites to forum people. So it's either do it grey market or just skip it all together.

I only sell to other Pinside community members, and I keep all of my art original, and that makes me feel okay about it. But I'm not pretending or lying, I basically rely on companies looking the other way for such a small fan-based operation. And if they choose not to I'll accept the end result without any harm coming to anyone else.

So in that sense I'm definitely not Kevin. But if you don't want to buy one because that makes you uncomfortable I totally understand, it's just supposed to be something that makes people happy.

Someone put my decal on the front, and left the shiny one on the back, so you still get it when it spins.

Honestly I just had room on the decal sheet and did it because I could, no need to install it if you like the old one.
