    For decal binding, you’d have to print the decals to match the outline exactly, which wouldn’t be easy. The decal itself would need cutting to follow the outline, leaving a very long and thin decal to slide off the paper and not crease or fold. It could be done, but you’d probably need a few tries to get it right.

    Thinline teles have thin binding, not the thicker striped stuff, so you could just mask and spray some white faux binding on.

    Sorry, I missed this one Simon.
    I was thinking of trying 6 mm auto pin strip decal. I think the thin thickness would be fine.
