Wolverine Jayhawk Build, Part 9, Nose Cone Decal Wrap



Placing this type of nose cone decal can be tricky - 

TIPS: Notice how it is cut out. The inside edge cuts are rounded.
This long red band is narrow, round out the inside corners. Cutting tight into the corners can start a tear.

Before soaking - Do some dry wraps to fins out how far down the decal wrap will start. When you find the place where the ends match up, lightly mark that line with a pencil. I mark a little outside the decal area. If the decal is set over a pencil mark you can't erase it later on! 

This is one of the few times I use Micro Sol.
There may be some folds along the top of the red line.

After the decal dries from the initial transfer, roll (don't rub) some Micro Sol over the decal with a Q-tip. Let dry and check the decal. It may require another application to soften up the clear coat on the decal.
