  1. Installation was straight forward. I received the prints rolled up in a tube, opened the up and let them lay out flat for a few days. I had oversized my prints ~.5" in each direction. I had a couple areas at the cabinet glue joints that were not perfectly flush and used auto body filler to smooth them out. Gave the cabinet a once over with a sanding block then wiped it down with a tack cloth. I then applied some black spray paint to the corners where the decals would meet to help hide any imperfections in my application. Applied the back box decals myself, but had to have assistance handling the cabinet ones. My process was do align a corner, then edge and use the wiper to smooth/apply the remainder of the decal. I've put several screen protectors on various devices and always end up with a ton of bubbles. This material was extremely easy to work with. ~95% of the bubbles could just be pushed out with the wiper. On a couple instances I had to partially peel the decal back and reapply to get a crease out. No problem with tackiness. I used a sharp exacto blade to trim the edges as described earlier in this post. Overall great experience. My one lesson learned for others is any imperfection, void, or debris that gets under the decal will be visible after application. Not directly, but you can notice it when the light is reflecting at an angle. I had a couple screw heads I had slightly recessed into the wood for cross supports. I should have used a little auto body filler to smooth out the recessed head prior to applying the decal. I am extremely happy with the results and can't wait to finish up my cabinet!
  2. Brad, The artwork came out great! Turned the cabinet from a plywood box to a real pinball machine! Highly recommend to anyone else looking for cabinet printing. //i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h441/jdwcdd/IMG_7146.jpg //i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h441/jdwcdd/IMG_7145.jpg The board won't allow me to link the images because I don't have enough post, maybe someone else can?
