 I thought I might check out Hobby Lobby for their Testors software and printing kit used for making custom model water slides. |

Just an FYI for you guys, we sized the BDS decal for my screwdriver. If you have a different manufacturer, it may look a little different than mine.

Decal
Hi Larry.
I may be wrong (certainly wouldn't be the first time) but I'm reasonably sure that I have seen pictures of the BDS screwdriver with the BDS decal "On the other side of the bubble" on the handle - - in the space between the handle and the lower "bubble". Now - for the record - I can't find such a picture in my office. If it exists it might be in my workshop at home. Unfortunately I won't be going home this evening.
Could the "originals" have had the decal in different places at different times ???
Jack

Not as far I know. That's the correct orientation. There's a number of pics out there that have a screwdriver that's not correct for the Cobra as far as I know and some have the decal on in a different location. Most of those have a different shape to the handle though, with no bevel to the ferrule.

Orientation
OKAY: Forrest Gump had the appropriate expression but I'll save myself further embarrassment by Not quoting it.
My associate found the picture to which I was referring. (She finds a LOT of stuff that I lose). It's "supposed to be" one of the few Real pictures of the original BDS screwdriver.
THE LOCATION AND ORIENTATION OF THE DECAL IS EXACTLY LIKE YOURS.
My apologies for the confusion. (Dealing with Old People is a REAL pain in the butt).
Very Best Wishes To All For A Wonderful Holiday And A Bright, Happy And Safe New Year.

Waterslides
Hey, Larry.
The Waterslide Decals arrived today. They look great. Thanks very much for "making it happen".
A quick question: My plan is to just apply the decal directly to the screwdriver then paint a thin coat of Varathane over it for 'protection'.
One of my engineers tells me to:
1. Put a thin coat of Varathane on the screwdriver - then -
2. Place the decal on the Varathane - then -
3. Paint a coat of Varathane over the decal to protect it.
What do you guys recommend ??? This is all new to me.
This is (probably) the last step in completing the tool kit and I'd hate to "screw it up".
Thanks very much.
Jack

I would think just a coat after the decal is on the screwdriver would be fine. I don't see any advantage to applying a coat first and again after decal application. That's my $.02.
