Hate cutting stickers. What did you vets do before the newer sticker decals?

New to the hobby only 3yrs. Cutting some stickers for my MST E30 and I am so use to Horizon/Arrma stickers that peal off and some of the others. There is NO cutting around the edges and just much cleaner.

10-20-30 years back did all stickers need to be cut? Any tips on making the process easier...or just take your time and go nice and slow?

I normally use curved bladed scissors or an exactoblade

The edges are clear. I just get a rough estimate and cut. If you want to be picky, cut off the extra clear with a knife after installing.

Use Xacto knife and trace around the edges of just the sticker itself. You Don't need to cut all the way thru the backing paper..

That’s a beauty of a rig I see there! Good luck with the stickers

I agree, it can be tedious work. If you’re dealing with a big sheet I normally rough-cut out the one I’m using next and use an exacto knife or a very good pair of scissors. Cool rig, man. E30’s are cool.

35 years ago I remember cutting Tamiya decals out individually from a sheet, soaking them in water and adhere them.

Yup, once you got the knack of it waterslides were great. Actually easier to work with for tiny ones.
