This small project is basically a homemade Letraset pack, for which you will need vinyl tape, clear packing tape, scissors, a knife and a design that you would like made in vinyl. It's a simple project, and it's as easy to redo as it is to screw up. There are two types, digital and analogue variants of the same idea.

First off, clear the area that you are stickering. If it is, for example, a refrigerator, then you may skip this step. I did a bike, so my first step was scraping existing stickers off with a knife, then scouring the remaining adhesive with WD-40 and steel wool, then towelling it off to remove residue. Measure the area that you're working with. Even if it goes against your reckless nature.

Looking at it, I think it says "Velotrash", probably a play on words, velocity from the trash maybe? Only the writer knows for sure... :) I want to do this with my bike (also a Raleigh) and put my website name on the bike, I just need to work up the botheredness to do it... :P

Just pulled off all the labels from my bike, and I have to say, WD-40 is about as useful as a teaspoon is in open heart surgery!!! I don't want to scour up my paintwork, better to use a label remover fluid than WD-40... :\

It's kinda like a big sticker sheet, except there are no cut out shapes and pretty colors, it's just a looong roll of thick paper/plasticish stuff that is really sticky when peeled. Along with that, and a clear coat of paint, it may work well for a bike like mine...
