The sticker "decal" edges are pre-cut. The borders seem a little wide. The fold in the picture shows how wide they are.
I re-cut the border edges closer to the prints.
The instructions show the stickers being added after the fins are glued in place.TIP: I prefer to place the wrap stickers first, then glue the fins on. It's easier to do the bolt line strips in one long piece instead of cutting them to length around the fin edges.
The masking tape wrap gives me a alignment line for the sticker edge.
After the strip is in place, cut thru the strip over the fin slot.
TIP: Cut through the center of the strip, don't trim off the overhang. Let the overhang fold in when the fin tab is pressed into the slot. You'll get a tighter fit of the fin with the folded in sticker ends.
Good tips, I always use sharp scissors and cut the stickers close to the print. It also allows the edge to be smoother than the die cut provides.
