My cabinet came back home today safe and sound, along with the new, revised decals. I am going to wait to apply them until spring has come and things warm up again. I keep my house at 60F in the winter, and it is too cool to varnish really. I don't want to re-apply the decals before I can do the rest of the cabinet refinishing. I don't want to have it sit around after the application for months until it is warm enough to varnish, and risk damage from accidentally bumping it or something.
