Decals

Anyone know where I can get name decals made up? I have a few rods I need them for, I had a guy that used to do them for me but he moved out of state and doesn't do it anymore.

Did you ever try a white gel pen that you can write on the blank with and clexcoat epoxy right over the writing?

If you have access to a dry ink transfer printer (some people have these at work), or you can use an ink pen with these to make decals. See mudhole.com

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Decal Connection. as Reelecstasy said. Nice people , nice decals. They can turn almost any jpg into a decal of almost any size. Cheap too.

Anyway , that's the best place I think.

I gave up on that myself. I'm a big pawed lefty and it just dont work. I had a hundred signature decals made up for about 20 bucks. I'll try to see if I can find where I got them.
