Unhappy Carbon Fiber Decal applying Trouble

Anyone know a way to apply a cf decal easier then just slidding it on there and trying to smooth it out? I always get air bubbles all the time and can never get it flat espically with the little bump ( scoop) thing on the eclipse hood. If you have a good way to apply it with out getting air bubbles please let me know.

Sadly, CF need patience and lot of work.

You need lot of time to get good result. You will also need some Microsol.

Be sure to look this tutorial:

You really need decal solvent, there are many brands. I use Gunze Sangyo's Mr. Mark Softer, but that's just my preference... - Mark

Re: Carbon Fiber Decal applying Trouble

I CF´d half a Tamiya Lotus Seven and i read somewhere that a hairdryer is a good friend when CF`ing ( just as the SMS leaflet says).And i had no problemos whatsoever when using a hairdryer after the MicroSol-session !
