Aerotech Mega Initiator #89541, Part 14, Applying The Upper Roll Stickers

A great thing about this design, the separate upper section allows you to center the vertical name and red stripes after the large roll sticker is in place. Simply rotate the upper section and center the remaining vertical stickers between two fins.

To start, don't peel off the entire backing,

Peel back an inch and fold back the backing paper.

This gives you control as you line up the left edge onto the faint pencil line you drew with the aluminum angle.

With the top and left side edges lined up - 

peel back the backing paper as you go.

Smooth the sticker removing any bubbles.

Peel back more of the backing paper and smooth again.

Continue around the tube to the starting point.

With any luck, you'll get a good match of the orange and red prints.

I had to carefully lift the sticker edges to erase the pencil line which showed up under the clear areas. Whew!

Mentioned earlier - these stickers go on without using water as a lubricant. They did go on easier than I thought they would.
