Hello...
I was wondering if anyone here has tried the boat decal system sold by Streetglo? I read a post about it on another boating forum and it sounds like something I would want to buy. I need to replace my boat name lettering as it's badly faded and it's cracking. Streetglo has a wet system application method with a water release feature. From what I've read, you can wet the boat up real good and then wet the decal. Put it in place and slide it around.. but when you have it in place, somehow the product releases it's bond from the boat lettering allowing you to remove the application membrane without damaging the letters. I've tried dry lettering before and I've tried wet. The dry boat lettering is a one chance is all you get deal. The wet systems I've tried will often pull the letters back off when you try and remove the membrane.
Anyhow, I would appreciate any comments you might have. Here's where I read about it annd there is a video there too which looks too easy to believe.
