Luckily no, it goes on similar to window tint. Hose it down with soapy water and that buys you some time to move it around before it starts sticking. Then you have to individually get all the water bubbles out from under each spot, and they all like to stick to the transfer paper. I lost one or two spots, some of them moved around but for the most part it came out fine.
Still married after subjecting your wife to it?

This one was a major PITA. I consider myself an expert sticker-putter-oner, since I do drive a Jeep after all ? This was a couple hours by myself in the garage. Wifey is asleep, hasn’t seen it yet. I’m sure she will have some things to say on her way to work tomorrow.

Finally got around to hiding my AAL light wiring behind my fender liners. Typical Jeep project that took twice as long as it should. Had some stuck bolts and then issues getting bolts lined back up again afterwards.

Also I need to get myself a magnetic light for working on the Jeep. Was looking at this one but anyone have a better suggestion?

I have 2 of those same lights but from harbor frieght super bright magnetic works really good too. Also have one of there puck light things that works good as well.

This is also confusing because the box is already wrapped. Why the need to cover his eyes?

On a side note I tried searching on Amazon for "magnetic flashlights for women" and got this result:

I wanted to be mad but I have to concede now I do want this snail lamp.
Imagine if this was a duck. ;)

Thanks I'll check out HF. A few reviews of the ones on Amazon say they've exploded and caused fires which is not surprising coming from Amazon.

stuff on Amazon can slip through customs with counterfeit or no UL rating at all. CBP catches stuff every day but lots still gets through. Like smuggling drugs, send a ton and hope half makes it through

Took your suggestion and just picked this up from HF. I thought it would bend both ways but apparently not. There is a smaller light on the back which is still bright enough for my needs though.

HF is always a dangerous trip. I also ended up looking at jacks, jack stands, breaker bars, dead hammers and angle grinders while I was there. I managed to leave with just the flashlight though. :whew:

I've had a couple of those for a few years & they've never let me down. I've never been able to just walk out of HF empty-handed.

Buying an angle grinder was a big step in my fabrication abilities. And they’re cheap!
I have done a lot, more than I should have, with dremels but angle grinders are on another level!

It's on my list along with an impact wrench which is something else I should probably own....
