Charlie; Lyle takes some kind of pride in his decals and his vinyl decals
are thin, really thin. It takes some very careful work to get the water out
from under them without stretching the vinyl. It takes some practice.
Usually Wacker's sets have something in them a person can use to do just a
bit of trial on. I'm sure there are some others who make decent decals but
we tend to stick with things we find that work. Seems easier that way.
