Only ever seen americans do it while I watch restoration vids and they used windex which is why I mentioned window cleaner as that would be the closest thing but I think water would work in a spray bottle the stickers should be vinyl so water won’t affect either the material or the glue, just vital the surfaces you are putting them on are super smooth so when you push the liquid out it leaves no bubbles.
Probably a good idea to lay it on it’s side to apply the art as the water won’t run off and it will be easier to position the sticker and work on it.Last edited by importaku; 02-03-2019, 12:11.

I'd love to see my wife's reaction if I spent this much money and time on such a "monstrosity".3DS FC (updated 2015): 0447-8108-3129

Sounds like it's coming along nicely, just read the bit about using it with Mame and then you tried RetroArch and Switchres, which has got me curious...
I've just dug out my GroovyMame 74 bit Windows 7 PC with CRT emudriver with some frontend I don't remember - maybe Attract Mode, whatever it is - it's got a really dull theme on it and I'd like to revisit it.
I'm running CRT emudriver and I'd like to play with some other emulators - have you got any pointers to update this and try other emulators? Asking in case you have a brilliant link that will save me researching it.

Good luck with the clean up. Assuming the ballast is ok, the above tube and starter should be right for you.3DS FC (updated 2015): 0447-8108-3129

They make a 2ft tube, which would fit but is 18W. Is it an Astro or NAC you have?3DS FC (updated 2015): 0447-8108-3129

Oh mate - I have a NAC. Ive only ever read that all Astros use F15W - as per that Arcade Otaku link. I’m sorry about the bum info.
Ive Googled about a bit and this thread : https://forums.shoryuken.com/t/wtb-a...stuff/113512/7
