[AT] Help Needed in Finding Safety Decal

[Larry D Goss]

LOL!  BTDT, years ago.  I have computer-printed decals that I use as a book 
mark in a notebook.  The biggest problem with that technique is that the end 
result is neither waterproof nor scratchproof and it fades in the sun rather 
severely.   It's good for a trailer queen that isn't going to see any heavy 
use or abuse.
