Jetrock ROTF at the last line in your post. I do decals and find them to be trouble waiting for the one slip of my knife, finger whatever... I do not drink coffee or eat anything that winds up the body before the work.. Usually reinforced by a nap with a session of petting the cats. Then a visit to the spa with a sauna etc (Ok ok I am pushing it) Decals require absolute focus and I usually warn the wife that I am in delicate work and her surprises can wait a few hours. I find them extremly disruptive and in some cases require purchase of another decal set to replace what was lost during a minor emergency. Practice a method, learn it and do it the same way everytime... Step one, two then three etc zzzzz.... If you need to stop and take a break do so. No one needs to letter data decals on N scale cars at 6 per hour. ok, I can give you my method for avoiding the "old granddad" look on individual letters. I use dry tranfer decals lined on a straight edge then scotch tape is placed over all of them. That way they can stay there while you rub em out. Good Luck! Lee
