Anyone had any experience of applying these?
I have a big run of them to do for a Pullman Railway carriage restoration job-
They are brand new re-pros, and have the image in reverse onto clear cell- then onto stiff white paper (on the front).
I hav'nt done any for a while, (and not sure i ever knew much of what i was doing last time )
Last ones I did where 80 years old thou...and had been rolled up for the last 50 in a dusty drawer.
I'm hoping these will be easier.
Thanks in advance

Thanks to everyone here and elsewhere who replied or messaged me about this.
An Update:
Did all these yesterday!- I used one shot quick size, and they all went very well- I cut them down a bit- and followed Ricks method and hinged them -like laying vinyl to get the registration.
- sized the back and taped them down till they dried-then flipped them up and applied- soaked the paper back ( which I think was held with some sort of Gum Arabic type size)- and off it comes perfectly everytime.
They are outdoors 100%- so I'll varnish over next to protect them from weather and the cleaners.
Thanks again everyone.
Pics to follow.
