How to apply decals, paint, and heat transfers!

I have a lot of instruction on this page.  You may not need to read or watch it all.  If you have a design with larger decals, it would be helpful if you watched more of the application videos. 

I think everyone would be served well to read or watch these two topics:

Looking for some inspiration? Here are a few photos that might help you. When your helmet is complete, I would really appreciate you emailing me some high resolution, in focus pictures that I can add here! Feel free to attach them or insert them in an email and send them to me.

I will only use them for helmet education purposes, and they will never be sold.
