: Hi All ~ I searched the Archives and cannot find an answer, so
: here's hoping someone can assist me. Can a vinyl decal be placed
: on bare wood and then fiberglassed, epoxied and varnished over
: it without ill effects? I know that it can be placed on
: afterwards, but before? Thanks for any help, pros/cons to this
: idea, and hope that you all had Happy Holidays!

Hi Kyle,
I think a vinyl decal would prevent the resin from gaining grip on the timber.
