<p>Hi,</p><p>I'm sure that most of You have already discovered this quick and easy method of creating decals from Avery self stick paper, but just in case, here is discription of how to do it.</p><p>Using any graphics program, create your logo. Then print it on smudge free Avery ink jet full sheet label paper. The product number of the Avery paper I use is 8165.</p><p>When the ink has dried, cut each logo from the sheet using a razor blade. Use a marking pen that is similar in color to the color of your logo's background to cover the white edges of the logo. Then apply.</p><p>If you place the logo on a surface like the side of a wooden box car, you can apply the logo so that it looks as if it was painted on. To do this, remove the backing paper and lightly place the sticker in position. then starting in the center of the sticker, working first to one side, then the other, scribe it down one board at a time with a scribing tool. I find that the protruding plactic clip on the cap of a cheap ball point pen to be perfect for this. With a little practice you will quickly get the hang of it. Spray with with any clear finish to protect from the elements.</p><p>You can see pictures of my logo on a boxcar by going to the website shown below. I had not yet sprayed the car with clear lacquer when these pictures were taken.</p><p> <a href="http://new.photos.yahoo.com/soda14a6v/album/576460762397950228">http://new.photos.yahoo.com/soda14a6v/album/576460762397950228</a></p><p>Junnie </p>
