  5. Installing frosted vinyl orafol

    sometimes spraying alcohol on the transfer tape after helps dry it quicker, for something this intracate i wouldnt use app fluid at all, as far as the small bubbles msenjur mentioned, jsut communicate to the client that they settle away.

  14. best sign related injury :)

    ive had some big ones and scary ones, but the funniest has to be static electricity.
