To: "Antique Phonograph List" <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Date: Thursday, August 5, 2010, 1:55 PM If you put it on a fresh water set decal and it is brushed on without flowing on single light coats the decal lifts and crinkles. If you know how to do it then it very well can be done. As the individual who just applied the decal went through a deal of expense and angst to get them on. A casual application of bullseye with a brush is asking for a disaster. You can dust on that bullseye from a Foo-Foo can if you are careful though. harvey kravitz wrote: > I've been using Bullseye for ever 20 years and never had a problem with it. > Harvey Kravitz > > > > > ________________________________ > From: Rich <rich-m...@octoxol.com> > To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l@oldcrank.org> > Sent: Thu, August 5, 2010 11:31:27 AM > Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Decal success!! > > If you use bullseye the stabilizer in the stuff along with the alcohol will > eat your decals right off.
