Default The Decaling of this team was easy

Taylor,

I do decals in 3 phases:

Phase 1: Mass General applications
I do the numbers, helmets, pant stripes first. This is the phase you see in these pictures. For this phase, it usually takes about 1-2 hours for 22 players. This is based on having all decals cut out and knowing the figures. If you talk the language and know the various poses, it becomes very easy to recognize what patches and decals go with whom.

Phase 2: Secondary decals such as shoe logos, patches, etc.

Phase 3: Touch-up/Quality Assurance
This is where Rose and I take an indepth look at each figure and critique the quality and make any changes.

Phase 4: Modge Podge Phase - sealant phase that I always use towards the end of a customer project.

Phase 5: Clear-coat Testors 1261 phase. Sealant and hardening phase.

I have a customizing guide for customizing, painting, and decaling figures. Did you not get that handbook?
