Re: 1995 Claud Butler Titanius #F4100632
TBH it’s as old as the hills, window displays, car window tint etc etc all use the wet application method when applying permanent adhesive vinyl graphics.
If you search on YouTube you will find hundreds of Americans who will explain to you in the most long winded & ham fisted way just how to do it.
Most will use a spray to mist the water & detergent mix, normally directly on the vinyl, but a kitchen sponge onto the tube works well enough… you get loads of time to place the sticker exactly where you want it & no air bubbles (important obviously, when applying large clear blocks)
Anyway.. I wanted to fit at least one thing on it today, so where better to start than with the Head set?
A nice, boxed, VGC (almost NOS) White Industries aluminium Ahead one in fact, weighing in at 97g with sealed bearings… it even had it’s groovy sticker.. not sure where to stick it though? ( the graphic)

I just can’t square this in my mind - all instructions I’ve ever followed for applying normal self adhesive decals have insisted the surface is clean and dry
