Yeah I know- "got any hens teeth ?" LOL- Anyway, I'm restoring one of these, but the decals I have likely wont survive the trip to the water . Does anyone have a set Will buy or trade

Sorry Don . If it were me I'd scan them so I have a copy and then spray some decal bonder on them and hold my breath !

Hey Don ! Check with Tres Wright , I just remembered that he used to have some repro decal sets for the Baja Humbug . Maybe you'll get lucky !

That's a good idea - I'll get them scanned just in case. I've had this kit for years, and the contest finally got me to tear it down and redo it. I'm hoping the decal thing will work out before the contest deadline !

Ohhhh Noooo ! Did you try coating yours ? Yep , I put two light coats on it , but I dont have a way to scan it , and I'm afraid if it falls apart I wont have anything to fall back on . If anyone has a copy they could scan for me, I'd appreciate it !

Starryeyes to the rescue ! Two light coats should be fine Don , but if you're concerned about it go ahead and spray one more medium coat on the decals to be sure . It won't hurt anything and you'll be surprised just how thin it really is !

I have the two coats on it, but I'm leery about hitting them again. After the second light coat, one of the numbers started to wrinkle up , and I'm afraid that any more bonder will result in all of them wrinkling . I will attempt to use them this weekend, but I admit I'm not too confident these will work out. At least now I have a scan ,so if they are junk I'll be able to get someone to make a new set !
