Words cannot describe how angry i am right now. Im taking it out on everything, even M&M's are getting crunched extra hard.

I had prepared everything. I washed the car this morning it was spotless.

So, when i arrived home i got my cardboard tube, my squirty bottle of water and my squeegie and headed downstairs.

and hour later im ranting like a man possessed.

I fked up my 24" PH Smiley and its all wonky and wont stick properly.

ARRRRRGHGHGH MOTHER fkING ING tt!

Im never applying them wet again, ill go for dry and put up with where it lands.

Its to late to order a replacment in time... the right hand side of my car will look poo.


Im off to sit on the sofa and sulk.

Thanks for listening.

So suggesting you meant "Incandescent" may not help?

Your sticker is wonky and you are 'incandescent with rage' I believe...

If it's still wet and you can move it, simply position it as you want it squeegee it and then leave well alone - it will stick and the water will disappear.

if it's part dry and stuck where you don't want it - go and get a drink and get pissed - there's probably fk all you can do about it unless you play with vinyl for a living...

Spend some time positioning it as best you can. assuming you've not mullered it you'll be surprised how it will come together - all is not lost.

Patience, patience, patience - use your fingers and take your time yes

Even though it's all wet and misplaced, tomorrow it will dry and if there's anything out of place by close of play tonight that's how it will look tomorrow.

I'm sure we can get another one to you in time, when are you leaving?

I'd suggest you either mail me directly, or re- order and we'll do our best to get you sorted out.

Bernie- Thanks i have gone back to the basement to play with it. it may not be as bad not its dried a little. Fingers crossed for the morning.

Garlic - Thanks but to ship it out to Munich by monday would be a tad hard i think. I leave for leman on monday night.

Tomorrow morning ill be doing the other side with a lot more patence and a varstly improved technique.

Thanks all.

Dont worry apart from the trip down when everyone, well those driving anyway, are sober, every other time they will ALL be pi££ed so probably wont notice.
Just take photos of the good side to show everyone.

Can you add a comment along the lines of "decals applied whilst under the influence".

I'm going to apply my stickers today and may have learnt from experience, unlike some of courserolleyes

Last time I went to LM, I got home late from work the night before an early start to the chunnel, put a hot engined car in the garage, threw the big PH sticker on the dry bonnet and went "Oh F*ck"!

With a bit of patience, some crease smoothing, some lifting of lines and recutting and smoothing, the poor fit and creases were not really that visible, on the bonnetgetmecoat

Hope to do better today!

Had some trouble with my viper stripes but got there in the end and have to say with 2 of us on the 24" smiley it went on pretty well

Ahh Man,

I did the same thing but dry. I was thinking go wet next time. My door number stickers are a bit f'ed up. Too late to start again now as I'm off Wed. I was swearing like a mo fo. I guess you don't really notice from a few meters away. If you see my car, don't point it out :-(

DOH!
