Water slide decal applied. I did a quick test run with a blank bit of the paper, then onto the real thing. It didn’t tear and I must confess once it was on and crease free, I didn’t dare move it about.
I’m happy with the result. Now to let it dry (it says minimum 24 hours, but it’ll probably sit for the next 3 days), then I can overspray it. Should be able to cover and level it in a weekend, leaving a couple more coats on top to finish off the headstock.
