So, I might eventually put my own decals on a game but I see many wrinkles around legs and wonder if this method is now preferred way of doing them so as to get zero wrinkles?

Put Stern protectors on and cut about 2mm round the outside of protectors, so legs cannot push at decals.

Like on MMR....

Finally worked out how to add a picture:D

Also some games the edges near flipper buttons catch and then peel.

I saw Brian Kelly use a technique to get them perfect to edge but would it be better to set them say 2mm back from the edge and then they shouldn't peel?

I probably won't have the bottle to try re-decalling but you never know;)

the actual application is a piece of ****. The problem bit is preparing the cab properly in the first place. I dis as per the photo, used screw on stern protectors and cut around them.
