Encountered serious difficulty with the name decal last night. Got a small bowl of hot water and dripped a few drops of detergent into it. Then soaked the decal and it pulled off the paper, but the sides immediately curled.... producing an odd hour glass effect on the name "Loadstar II"... no matter how I smoothed it, it wouldn't straighten out, so I smoothed it as best I could, and now have a very unique decal on my rocket...one of a kind. Not sure what went wrong... I used the same technique as the night before... when I applied the triangles and had a deeper bowl of hotter water, I thought. Maybe slightly more detergent in this shallow bowl. Any suggestions? How common are these problems?
I am afraid to try to largest "wrap" decal around the "throat" of the rocket now, until I figure out what went wrong.... Any Help, guys?
