Thanks guys. One of the problems ive been getting with non rectangular shaped boxes, and i dont know if anyone else has had this problem is that the decal gets creases after i spray the clear onto it so ive been having to stick with thin coats and about 30mins afterwards i have to go back and uncrease it.

Dont know why, maybe the irregular shape is exerting uneven forces onto the decal making it crease?  Never had this issue with decals shaped for b or bb boxes. Anyway, anyone else found this?

Nice to finally see someone else using these enclosures! What kind of decal are you using, waterslide? I've built this http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=9688.0 (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=9688.0) without any issues of creasing decals, but I think I used a completely different technique.

The box looks awesome BTW, really like your style and can't wait for the finished product!!!

Yep, its waterslide.

Might try the adhesive decal but sounds like its quite unforgiving with the airbubbles compared to waterslide. Does it come in clear
