Just got done with my first lubster. I thought you guys might want to check it out. The paint on the dipstick was still wet thats why its not on the tank. I would like to thank T-WAY and Gas Pump Heaven for my supplies.

Very Nice. Must be a trick to get decals on without bubbles. I surely don't know it. Every time I try, lot's of bubbles. Thanks for sharing.

Jim and Mike,
here's a trick that a friend of mine that showed me on how to place vinyl decals on.
He owns a vinyl sign shop.....
Spray the surface with window cleaner (windex or what ever)leave it nice and wet., place the decal on...
the cleaner allows you to slide the decal around. After you have the decal where you want.....work the bubbles out with a credit card.....let it dry....works every time!!!

Jim,

You didn't ask (LOL). But you will remember next time....oh by the way....when I said let her dry....I should have said "pat dry with a clean cloth or sponge"...
You still did a damn fine job....I likes that lubster!!!!
