Hey all,
Question for anyone who happens to know. Simply put, how long (ballpark) does it take to do a good redecal job on a machine? I'm thinking at least 20 hours by the time I do teardown, removal of old artwork, filling, sanding, priming, filling, sanding some more, lining up decals? Any input would be greatly appreciated

Quoted from swinks:here is a good video showing the wet application method, a more forgiving method

Based upon the video, the wet mood appears reasonable. However, it appears I need a wife who's in the second trimester? That's going to add some time onto the project...
In all seriousness, thanks for the help. I'll let people know how it goes.

Quoted from cal50:Application fluids were developed for application of graphics and it works well. It gives the person some wiggle room for positioning. If you want to roll them out dry then great, its what method you prefer and applying graphics on a flat surface is pretty simple vs a vehicle that is vertical with compound angles and surfaces. I prefer a bottle of Rapid-Tac and my trusted squeegee.
If your cab is prepped correctly it should be sealed and perfectly flat for decals wet or dry.
Polyurethane for wood floors is right at home on cabinet wood.

Hey,
What is your source for Rapid Tac, if you wouldn't mind?
