Looking for a custom decal. roughly 8" long or more, wrap around a surf blank. Want the decal to have several, maybe dozens of 'thumbnail' size photos... kinda like a collage. Is this possible? Any other ideas? Trying to come up with ideas for a theme rod of a music group.

There was an article on how to do this sort of thing in a recent RodMaker. I'll have to look up the volume and issue number. It was titled, "Rod Tattoos."

Decal connection is great, but the setup for a one-of will likely be more than you want to pay. If you have a graphics suite on your computer, like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, just command a new image/project, size it to be 8 inches width, or whatever that dimension should be, and the height the "wraparound" dimension of the blank, or better just a little more than that dimension, then fill it with the images you want. When you get that done, you print it onto a peel and stick media, like Papilio white vinyl. If you can get this far, and want more info, email me. If you don't have a graphics suite, then I know of no better option than Decal Connection.
