ok so everytime i try to put a die-cut on my helmet theres always air bubbles and stuff and it gets all wrinkled and looks like shit. How do you put a diecut on a curved helmet without this happening?

Take a hair dryer and blow it on to the back of the die cut which will heat it up while slowly applying the sticker w/ a credit card type thing.

for me, i cut my diecuts into pieces to put them on, that way i dont get limited by how much the paper ont he back bends

for instance, i cut this one up into four pieces and put them on seperatly, i think it turned out ok
