I posted about the new photo finishes last month and put one on. I am now changing my mind a bit. The thing is not sticking, it is too thick, the corners are curling and even with glue it is not right. Looks much better than it did but it is becoming too much work. the decals need to be thinner and have better adhesion. Even with lacquer over it it is still causing issues...

Anyone buy one and put it on yet? Maybe I did something wrong.
I dont want to bash the guy since he is doing a lot to support the hobby but I want to be honest too.
