Is that the new decal which is applied by just touching the film to the blank and the decal transfers from the film to the blank? Those are the greatest decals ever!

My latest Rainshadow came with the decal instructions on a yellow card wrapped around the rod.
If you don't have the card, I would contact Batson . I'm sure they will help you out.

Whether the old or new decal, no cp is required. My comment is on the new one which transfers just the text and logo, not the whole clear backing. The transfer of the text is very easy, much better than the traditional sticky back and much better than the old transfer type that took a great deal of hard rubbing to transfer, and on some surfaces, it would not reliably transfer.

IMHO !!!!

with all the drifferent posts and it seems no one knows __ Call Batson __ get the streight stuff
You don't need the trouble to not use CP and then have the edges lift - Maybe you don't need it The only ones I have used are Decal Connections decals No CP needed I do press them down

You are probable better off to just put a coat on Be sure Let dry overnight
