    If someone would show the correct way of decaling dry, you would never do wet again .

    I can have a large side decal laid down and trimmed before you could open a bottle of rapid tac.

    The dry video posted is not the ideal way of doing decals dry. The wet method shown is , SCARY.

    Quoted from NM:

    I'd be a nervous wreck trying to bull’s-eye a start button doing a cabinet dry.

    There are a few tricks to get things lined up ! Paying attention is one of them .

    I am doing a cab in a few weeks . We will see if a video is made.

    just saw this so I'll confirm your great suggestion.

    The light can be a bit misleading , if the light it not perfectly straight,you could get your alinement off.

    Jim- how do you do it?

    Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:

    When you have the front decal laying in place, just rub your finger around the start hole and it will leave a slight circular ridge.

    Just like Bryan does . I have done the light thing too but results can very depending on light angle and shadows. The impression method is spot on.

    I just would like some feedback on some of the comments made about that it was 'scary'

    I said it was " scary" because I spend a ton of time on my cabinets to make them look new as possible and afraid the liquid could make a mess . I am not comfortable spraying any liquid on a cab that I have put this kind of work into.

    So the wet process is very scary to me ! Just my opinion.

    Monster bash, many games are this way 1994 and newer.

    Damn, Jim. I just noticed what you do with the ground braid behind the leg plates.

    I stole that trick from HEP . Thanks Chris!
