  1. I print the date window portion all back as the dial is, no outline for the window at all. When fully dried it should be tight. I then cut the opening in an 'X', from corner across to opposing corner. That makes 4 little triangles. From the back of the dial, I then use a toothpick dipped in the Micro-Set to wet each triangle, one at a time, and draw it over the bevel and out the back, folding onto the back of the dial. The vinyl decals I use have a little, tiny bit of stretch to them. Using the toothpick I pull the triangle taught on the back of the dial. Then hold it there until it sticks. The decals take the shape of the bevel nicely. Some bit of trim might be needed, and I do that with the same wetted toothpick, smoothing the corners if necessary.

    - forged carbon fiber wont have the "hairs" that stick out and hurt you

    - this is a good read (my link was removed as i odnt have enough posts) look up "forged composite" on wiki pedia)

    - knife makers have been using this material with good results

    - another good read states that "it cannot be tapped jsut drilled this make sense due to the structure (my link was removed as i dont have enough posts) look up "forged composite" on car and driver)
