Timeframe:
I will be closing this sale on April 21st
All stickers will be mailed out by April 24th

Price:
These will be in packs of two stickers for $4 a pair.
Price includes shipping and pp fee for US. Canada and International will add $1.00 for postage.

Instructions:

**update: I have a few leftover stickers that i've put up for 'first come first serve' here: https://studiosofthewild.com

What about some hhkb ones, too.

You mean like the tiny ones for the hhkb itself? thats too small for my equipment/patience and I think they have to be cast not cut. I do however have cherry, topre, hhkb, and r/mk stickers as well that I made for our Raleigh meetup. I'll put those up for sale on a site when i have some time to figure out prestashop.

We need a couple action shots to show what to use these for. :P

So i would recommend putting them on glass-like surfaces for best adhesion. My intention was for your car windows. But you might be able to put them on plastic or laptops with some care.
Heres an example of the process:

I'm not going to lie, i did not have any luck getting it to stick to the front of the case - it was too porous.

I'd definitley get some Cherry stickers.  Depending on what they look like.  Did you use the old, or the new font/logo?

Cool guys, when you get them up on whatever vehicles or whatever, post up some photos! I love seeing where they end up.

And as with anything from me... 100% guarantee no matter what - if for some reason it doesn't come out right, let me know and I will give you replacements. I am more concerned that you have a perfect sticker than anything else!

I decided to stick one on my laptop, but I was having trouble removing the top layer as it was peeling off with it (probably because it rained today and so they were a bit damp)
But luckily I had better luck with the second one and it came out great!

Cool! Yeah i was having some issues with the porous plastic on my case too. I might try again but hit it with the hair dryer and then press it in really well and then after a while try pulling the transfer tape off. I dunno. I have better luck with the cheaper masking tape than the high quality nylon tape.
Were you able to save the first sticker? let me know if you need a replacement.

Ok, so I got my stickers and I feel like an idiot. How do these work? I put them on my desired surface, peeled slowly, and just a few letters stayed. I tried pressing hard, and all sorts of stuff. Is there a guide somewhere? 😵

With die cut decals you peel the top layer off (clear). The letters should come up with it. Find place of application...make sure its a surface that will actually allow stickers and is clean, then press sticker onto surface and press against the letters and they should stick on. Once you have pressed all the letters, I recommend running a credit card over them to push out any air bubbles if you have any. Afterwards, gently peel off the clear top layer and the letters should stay in place :)

^ and to add to that, you need to apply them to a surface that they can adhere to. I was having issues with the transfer tape holding the vinyl better than the vinyl was holding my porous plastic PC case... but it worked fine on the smooth plastic.

If you screw something up let me know and I'd be glad to send replacements.  :thumb:


I HIGHLY recommend you use these for glass... like a car window or a smooth painted surface.

Sticker wasn't coming up so I had to press it into the transfer paper and then roll the backing paper off at an aggressive angle...

put one on my FC660C. The g was aligned properly so I had to put it on separate and skewed up, still not sure how I feel about it but I think it turned out okay:

can you please make reddit stickers?

I got ya. (https://www.etsy.com/shop/LoomaExpressions?section_id=21121455) I did a couple of sales on /MK last year, and I'm gearing up for another soon.
If you could do an inverse of that r/mk and DT logo, that'd be great.

I feel like it's a little darker than the lavendar but that's pretty close. There was a conversation on DT about it: https://deskthority.net/off-topic-f10/various-fanboy-stickers-t8291.html

Pictures on the Topre/RF sites make it look more blueish but it's really close.

He's only looking at 951 Oracal though, theres some slight differences in color for some of the other less expensive products... like this might be closer:

I don't want to make you buy a bunch of vinyl just to make a single sticker  :))
I think the generic "purple" is closest there.

Dont worry about it, i'll find some other use for the vinyl beyond Torpe stickers for sure. Just pick a color and i'll get it going.  :thumb:
