This is the first time I have needed to use one of the spare decals too (I usually fill the page with repeats just in case). I didn't know about clear on first. Did that on the tele because I didn't want water going into the wood, but with acrylic lacquer I thought that any lacquer would provide much the same surface.

Anyway, I will see how it looks in the morning when I use an exacto knife to cut the holes.

It's times like this that I think learning to screen print would be a good idea.
