joshlw 0 Posted November 19, 2010 I have the task of doing a two color decal for my daughters softball team to go on batting helmets. The problem is i'm having a time getting it to go on correct being the helmet is curved side to side and up and down.(if that makes any sense. Should i try a wet application or what, the app tape is clear and don't know if it would release on a wet install. Any tips would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeygirl 30 Posted November 19, 2010 Are you applying one layer at a time onto the helmet? If so, try layering before applying. I haven't done any softball helmet - not sure how much curve is on it, but I found out through hundreds of skateboard/snowboard helmets that cast vinyl is the way to go.

hockeygirl 30 Posted November 19, 2010 it's a little tougher with clear app tape, try cutting slits on app tape so you can apply the decal on curved areas. With paper app tape, you just start ripping the paper off as you apply to get around the curves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
