Blue Thunder Lives Again! - Don Bradner - 02-14-2007 10:37 As you can see at http://www.arcatapet.net/travel/bluebirds/newlogo.jpg Blue Thunder now has her identity back. I had planned to have it done by my regular graphics guy when we returned to Eureka in a couple of weeks, but the opportunity arose earlier than that, so I got it done. Vinyl graphics made by Too Crazy Ladies at the Gypsy Journal rally in Casa Grande, AZ. Applied with minimal bubbles by yours truly. Don Bradner 90 PT40 "Blue Thunder" Blue Thunder Lives Again! - David Brady - 02-14-2007 11:20 Looks great Don. You probably know, but the secret to applying vinyl bubble free is soapy water. Wet her down with very dilute soapy water, apply the stickers, and squeegee out the water with the edge of a rubber pad (the kind used to apply bondo works well). Using this technique, the decals can be moved around until just right and then adhered to the body panel by squeezing out the soapy water.

You need to get good adherence of the letters before pulling off the front layer, and trying to apply them removed from the front leads to stretching. I will see a few bubbles; I suspect only pros will otherwise. On 2/14/2007 at 6:20 PM David Brady wrote: >Looks great Don.

Don Bradner http://www.arcatapet.net Blue Thunder Lives Again! - madrone1@... - 02-15-2007 02:40 Don, While things are still fresh take a needle, puncture your bubble and carefully work the air out (thats how the pros do it) Steve Blue Thunder Lives Again! - ronmarabito2002 - 02-15-2007 06:35 It looks good Don. You will be more recognizable now. R.E.
