Quoted from Oneangrymo:do you think cutting the decal is necessary? I have metal leg protectors ready to go and some felt protectors, can I just put the metal protector on top of the decal?
From everything I've ever read and my own experience with felt... don't use felt or plastic protectors, the metal protectors pictured are what you want to use. I put felt on my VP and the pressure of the very heavy pin against the legs made a mess of the decals and the felt.
