Title: Popperette decals Post by: Larry on January 09, 2009, 08:59:53 am For anyone who bought a Popperette machine from John, already has a Popperette, or just wants a cool bumper sticker. Here are some choices. Kim, at Custom Records, offers a set of top marquee and the instruction decal for sale.
I never liked the later version of the Popperette style decal with the thinner cursive so I had the older style made at a local decal shop. I believe I made ten or so of my decal. One decal is on my machine and one's on my bumper (long story), anyway I believe we are the only people who ever reproduced them. So if you want one let me know or contact Kim. Here's a picture of the one I made. The top marquee is an original. It was fine, so I just made the instruction decal, and here's Kim's decal on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290288110205&category=165328&_trksid=p3907.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D15%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54 Title: Re: Popperette decals Post by: BrianB on January 09, 2009, 08:20:07 pm Let's hear the story!!!
Title: Re: Popperette decals Post by: Larry on January 09, 2009, 09:45:15 pm It's not really a good story or funny.
I was putting on the decal by first spraying the machine with some windex so I could shift the decal into the correct position. After a few tries of putting it on and peeling it off, I noticed that the back had lost all of it's adhesion. So I put a new decal on the machine and it went on perfectly the first time. Well not wanting to waste a perfectly good Popperette decal, I told my wife that I was going to put it on her car. Of course she had a fit so my son told me to put it on my bumper. I jokingly did and it hasn't come off in four years of cold, salt, rain, and heat. Plus it never faded either. I guess there was still some glue left on that decal after all. When I went to have the decal made. I told the guy that it would be on an area that is constantly heated by a light bulb and by the heater. So he used some heat resistant material that can stand so many degrees. I forgot how high. I was originally going to buy some decal paper and make one myself, but printing white is impossible, or at least it was impossible. If I did find a way to make one from the computer, I'd probally be on my fifth decal already.
