For those of you who want to put a decal on your work.

Personally, I've found decals to be a bit fragile over time. If
I'm going to put anything like that on my work I prefer a paper label.
I draw, or copy and cut & paste, until I get a design near what I want,
then pencil in changes, and finalize with ink, whiting out as wanted.
Then I go to a copy machine, enlarge, or delarge, the design, as many
copies as I want. If I'm planning on more later, I save the "master".
Color if desired (or before and use a color copier), cut out, glue on.
I use thinned glue, and soak the paper. Works very nicely indeed.
That's what I use for any "extra" I want to put on. For info on who
made the piece, I glue a business card inside, out of normal sight, with
the date penned on.

I have no idea what a stryped is. Some kind of vile social
disease? Definitely not me. When I post I let you know it's me. I
ain't no duck either. I have more better things to do than try to
disguise my posts.

Ah! Actually, no. Found the decal link somewhere else.

Ah, Whizzers. Kinda neat. I owned a Sportsman Whizzer once.
Buddy of mine owned a regular type. And, I remeber when you could buy
one, running, for $5. You better believe that was a lonnng time ago.
Now they run in the hundreds, or thousands. I'd like to find a Cushman
Eagle I can afford.
