peeling decals

[Roger Jolly]

Greg,
         It's new stock on the floor. Probably 2 or 3 months old. RH in the
store is kept at 30% at this time of year, for what it is worth.
I think the problem is the self adhesive on the decal and no top coat.
I can't think of a reason why it would not work on any sound board finish.
I put a little dab on the underside of the board with a small artist brush
to test. that's how I found out that it attacks the finish.
The end result was that it fused the decal to the board. I'm wondering if
the opposite side of the decal is going to curl???????????  Time will tell
