Ms Pac Man restoration - Need advice
Lutus:
Also, contact any sign or lettering shops in your area and get ahold of one of the "squeegee" type applicator thingies.
I got one of a shop for $1. Worked great.
I also hear, they use these type appicator devices for wallpaper.
Would definently recommend as they are a godsend for getting the bubbles out and whatnot.

Awesome! I bought two of those....will have a buddy help me. How long would you think I have to place the vinyl and squeegee before it starts to stick?
Lutus:
I have not done the wet application like you are describing. I have only done a dry one, and it wasn't really that difficult.
For side art I would definently lay the cab on it's side to apply the art, that way gravity helps.
BUT before doing that, make sure everything is SECURE in that machine and there are no loose quarters or nuts and bolts etc... to get hung up in the circuit boards as that will wreck your day when you turn it back on.

He means to say I got it for him but whatever. ;D
when i went to pick up the squeegy think the guy told me, "if you start to get little bubbles behind the sticker take a pin (or small needle) and poke a hole in the middle of the bubble and rund the squeegy over it to push the air out!" seemed like a great idea if you start to get the bubbles!
