    Just wanted to let you all know to watch out for the decals when you brush off your vehicles, my 11 year old was brushing off my truck with the brush and when I went out to leave I seen my three decals were gone..
    When I looked they were in the snow next to the truck. The brush must have been coarse enough to get under the decals.
    When I placed the decals on I took all the proper steps cleaning the window with alchohol wipes so yes they were on good and not peeling. The snow brushes will remove your decals…

    The brushes did that? I’ve seen that happen from using the scraper side but I’ve had decals on my truck for several winters that have never suffered any damage from a brush.

    Send me your mailing address by email and I’ll gladly replace them all.

    James honestly you just tell me when they are in and I will purchase them. You and your field staff have done ALOT for me already. I used to not know anything about fishing and still have alot to learn, but living here in the Annandale area with all the lakes and one out my back door I have finally got rid of all the speed boats and started buying fishing boats and spending more time fishing then I have ever. This summer alone I did more fishing then I can remember and it is all due to this site..
    I have been a member on another fishing site and it is no longer in my favorites this is the one and only now. It has everything I need and you all answer every question promptly and even add suggestions.
    But I have had alot of people pull into my pizza shop and ask me what is In-depthangling.com and at the gas station I have had people sit out by my truck waiting to ask me about the fishing in the area. I just tell them The decal does not make me a pro fisherman by far and if they have internet they should go to the website and they will find all there answers there. I give them what little info I have about there questions but mostly direct them here..

    I’ve worked with vinyl for at least 15 years and from that experience, I’ve learned when applying vinyl decals, make sure the decal and the surface temp are over 50 degrees. Anything lower than that, you are tempting fate with a disappointing decal experience.

    Warm is always better. The adhesive on the back of any decal needs to be fluid enough to adhere to the surface. It doesn’t take much in terms of temperature to ruin the adhesive on a decal.

    If you can’t get the surface area warm, keep the decal warm. Make sure to keep any air bubbles out of the decal also.

    Well Blue you found my problem then… I bought the Suburban from Matt on here and that was a few eeks ago and when I got it home I took it up to the wash cleaned it up came home cleaned the windows with alcohol wipes and stuck them on. Temp must have been low 40’s…
    This is exactly what I was talking about on this site. Someone always seems to have the answers or the solution to a problem.. Thanks again
    My son did find my inventory here at home and when I got home he showed me I still have two more of the website decals.. Going to have to go to the garage tomorrow and crank up the heat get it about 70 and make sure surface temp is above 50 and stick the others on.. Got enough to replace the side windows will wait for the new ones for the rear.. Then I will leave this one in the garage with the heat on for the day… Again thanks alot..
