We taped the name on with the back still attached after measuring and centering the whole thing. We got a handy tip from a friend that told us to spray the boat with soapy water before pressing the sticker on so that we have a little wiggle room to adjust it here and there if needed. We lifted the name up, sprayed the boat with soapy water, peeled off the back of the sticker, and carefully pressed the name back down.
After making sure it was in place, I used a plastic scraper to press the sticker in place and push out any bubbles.
Then very slowly peel the top paper off and admire your work! We added the home port the same way and that task was complete. Onto the next...
Oooh...I love it! How did you get it printed? What is the font? Very cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The font is called Existence Light, it was a free font I found online. I typed in Adobe Illustrator and emailed the file to the printing place. We used a place called Imagen Graphics in St. Maarten.
DeleteWhat an amazing job you both have done with this beautiful boat! She looks amazing! I love following your progress, thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteRight on! That looks great on your boat, nice choice. I got super excited when my name was put on too, talk about choices when it comes to font, color, size!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding, amazing how many hours you can spend looking at fonts that look extremely similar haha. It's gotta be just right though, huh?! Thanks!
