This is a decal for Gibson repair. It's a rub-on transfer type, not a water-slide type. You rub the surface of the film to transfer only the letters. Also, unlike water-slide types, there is no transparent film left behind, resulting in a finish similar to silk screen printing. Please finish with a clear lacquer overcoat. Although I am a non-smoker and do not have any pets, please understand that this item is stored personally. Please note that this item is also for sale on other sites, so please check the stock before purchasing. Please refrain from price negotiations. Thank you.
