Noooooooooooo. No chance it will dry out by its self?

I'd remove the logo and next time wipe the backing paper dry after you remove it from the water and make sure the headstock is dry before you apply the logo. The larger the logo the more chance of this happening I'd say

[Fretworn]

It's also why its advisable to cut off as much of the "clear" part of the decal as possible. This can be very problematic with large decals, but generally it is best if the there is only a small clear border around the words or images of the decal.

Did you lay down a layer of clear before you applied the decal? They'll certainly do this if applied to bare paint.

Thanks for the tips guys. There is clear down and wet sanded to 2000 so it's all smooth. Seeing as I only have one left I'll try savage it by carefully scraping off the bad areas with a blunt toothpick and some 2000 wet dry but if it fails I'll redo it. Getting nervous.

No dice. Shafted the last one. Oh well, of to the local printer to get some vinyls done. They said they have some ultra thin transperant vinyl stuff that they use to put logos on fishing rods that get cleared over.

bugger, oh well Andrew, chalk it up as a learning experience.
You should have more luck with vinyl logos

Fingers crossed. It's all one piece with the clear coming up to the edge of the text so hopefully won't be noticeable.

[wokkaboy]

for starters you have a much higher chance of success if the 2 colours of the logo are in 1 application

[ponch]

True. The logo is only one colour anyway. I needed the white down first to put the colour over as it needed a white solid colour as the base. The cream is translucent so would get lost on the black
