AAAAAARGH! Lessons learned the hard way stick the best. Decals and tung oil are NOT compatible ! I just tried to put a layer of tung oil over the decals I applied. I wanted to protect them at least a little. They came right off ! I mean RIGHT OFF! I was barely rubbing lightly and they began to disintegrate. I ended up removing them completely. It's a shame because they looked so good. Oh well. I guess this means that Deity has decided I should leave the radio without the decals. That is how the majority of the pictures of this radio appear, so perhaps that is how they actually looked, and the ones with decals are restorations which added them. At any rate, I am now going to leave well enough alone.
