       You,' need to loosen all the strings over the targeted spot =

gnash your teeth attempting this procedure. I use the term loosely Grin!

  Best of luck

    It won't be impossible, but it will be very difficult to do it. A =
much more efficient way, however, is to use a transfer decal from Decals =
Unlimited. They are easier to put on, and a lot less messy.
