Terry, thats a good idea! I will effect something similar.
Though it seems that this is normal............well.......it will drive me mad just looking at it, and usability will be even less difficult unless I have my right foot broken and recast in an ackward position!!!

I cut out the stencil template for division sign late last night. It is about time I finished my coffee and got to painting the black background for it to go onto! I peeled off a bit of sticker backing from a portion not required, and found something interesting / disturbing. When the label gets wet, it easily de-laminates, leaving the glue stuck to whatever surface it is applied to! This will occur regardless of substrate or tack UNLESS it is allowed to dry completely. At which time it becomes sound again. Glad I thought to test this prior to application. Well, I simply wouldn't have used unless it was tested anyway, but the requirement to get this done today will be to spray the black backgrouhd as early as possible (now) and leave to dry well before spraying white onto it.

We will see how this theory goes in a few hours, won't we!
