Alternative to laying cab decals flat on the floor.
« on: April 10, 2009, 09:49:48 AM »
I had a couple of sets of cab decals laying on the floor in my study/comp room/pinball parts room..  &&

Anyway they damn nearly took up half the room laying on the floor so i decided i had to bite the bullet and come up with an alternative.

So i ask myself, they will need to be placed flat either vertically of horizontally ?

Theory came straight to mind that if they were stored vertically, well then that will provide a whole lot of fresh space.  ^^^

5 minutes later i had in mind what i wanted to do !  #@#

OK- materials used.

One ex target clothes hanger.  *!@ yet ?  :D
Two pieces of cardboard
plenty of packing paper and
grey tape.

Pretty self explanatory when pictures are seen.

Now for some fun.......PRIZE !  %$%

Who ever is the first to guess what artwork is protruding will win 6 new white pop bumper skirts....  &&

Nino,Greg and David ( silverball ) are excluded from the comp.. Sorry guys...  %.%

Couple of bulldog clips on the very bottom will ensure that the print completely flattens for you....

great tip, I've got mine on the dining room table under the glass top. I have been told not to keep the decals rolled up as the vinyl seperates or something. So keep them flat asap
