Can you take the screws out and reinsert them when the sticker is dry?

you gotta pull the screws and put on the sticher, and then put em back in...

use a credit card to get all the air bubbles out

use wind-ex and rub the piss out off the trailer and then spray more wind-ex on that same spot, put the sticker over the wind-ex and then squeegee the wind-ex out

The best is soapy water and a spray bottle. Lube the side of the trailer up really well, apply the sticker so you can manuever it around and get it where you want it. Then use a credit card or something to push the air/water out....works really well.

absolutely!!!! we do it on semi-trailers everyday. that is the only way to do it and be able to really put them in the place they are supposed to be

Soapy water or Windex both work well. You can reposition the decals while wet, and then just squeeze the water out and it is permanent. Works like a charm. Putting them on dry is asking for trouble if you make a mistake there is no going back.

What really sucks if buying a pro-staffers trailer and having to take all 400 oversize stickers off and then removing the adhesive with akrosol... Levi do you have a pic of your old trailer all stickered up,, I would like a before picture....

Why did you peel all those decals off? That was a sweet looking trailer!
