    The information you provide us with remains great. i bought my 1st kart in august 2018 and have already learned so much through your videos that makes me faster on the track and helps me work on the kart. I'm a fan of your work Derek, keep this up buddy

    Great video as always, but you should REALLY buy some " plastic felt edge squeegees ". Gonna make the job so much easier smoothing out the vinyl stickers. But your thumb is indeed your best friend when doing this :D

    • @PowerRepublic
      @PowerRepublic  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank for the tips D. I have got one there from an iPhone screen protector installation, but I don’t know, I guess old habits die hard. They are good for the centre and flatter parts, but I reckon the thumb is hard to beat for the complex shapes.

    I always cut off a piece of the backing of the sticker and put the sticker in its place with bit of tape in the right position on the not sticky part. Than pull of the rest of the backing and work it down as you do with the heat gun and all, works like a charm.
    Love your video’s mate, good job! Keep up the speed!

    I just had an idea, you should try to get marty and moog off MCM youtube channel over, and let them have a go on a couple of old karts. Your channels could do a collab, with you showing them the karts ect. I know it would be abit different from your normal karting content, but they have a decent following and could find you more subs. They normally track race old cars after weeks building them if you have somehow missed that channel, so getting them on karts would be interesting..

      Hey Bro, thanks for tuning in and sharing the videos😊
      we use 240 grit normally. but anything over about 180 should be fine. just go easy with the corse paper and go harder and longer with the fine grit stuff.
      Hope that helps 👊🏻

    The protective film is there to protect the sticker from an applicator scratching the sticker surface. It will not form to compound angles so it literally releases itself as you apply the sticker. If you use an applicator you'll get far less air bubbles than using your fingers alone.
