That's one good looking bike you've got.

Only one problem, it's not on my shelf.

Goodness Andrew, you've surpassed yourself - absolute stunner!! Good thing there aren't many decals to hide that super paintjob! That is one good looking thing...Thumbs Up [tup]

But speaking of the decals - I have to ask... White glue...? Confused [%-)] How did you use it? May be something I'll need in future!

Hi SeaBee

 

The problem I had with the decals is they simply would not stick; they had little if any adhesive.   Banged Head [banghead]  

 

After several sheets and with the advice from Decalman I used another sheet of decals, soaked the decals off the backing paper, which literally took one second, flipped the decal over and put a little diluted white glue on each decal. I then placed the decal in position, pressed it into position, gently and removed the excess glue. The white glue dries clear so you do not see it. Smile [:)]

 

I made the glue a bit strong for the first Senna Decal but got better as I went along. This is not the best solution since the adhesive the decal paper has is the best by far, but I was getting desperate after four attempts.   Sign - Dots [#dots]    Anyway the white glue did the trick. Supplier Ragged Edge was fantastic supplying spare sheets and helping me solve the problem, I think I just had some bad luck with the sheets, since others have had no problems Big Smile [:D]

 

I am satisfied with the end result, just took a while to get there though
