Decal Install
I decided to change the name of my boat from C Biskit to Skythen.
First things first, let us remove this old decal. I do not think many people are aware these erasers are sold in many automotive paint shops. It is basically an eraser that you used in grade school. Remember the square ones? Except now you get to use it on high speed with a drill attachment and it quite literally rips the decal off the boat!

First find your position and make sure you take measurements where you want the top left to be and the top right and make a mark with a pencil. Take the entire package and run a strip of masking tape approximately down the center and mark the corners with a pencil. Peel at an angle from one of the corners toward the center tape. Once you reach the center cut the backing off with a razor blade. Stretch the decal into position and match the corner with the pencil marks you made in the corners and place it on the boat. Then take a putty knife and squeegee the sticker on softly and get all the bubbles out.

This is what it looks like when you have it applied to the boat but the film has not been peeled off yet.

This is the completed product. Make sure you peel away at the same angle and be very careful as you go or some will try to come off. You should wait about 30 minutes to an hour before attempting this.
