Luv'n Life IV is official!
As promised, here are pictures of our boat getting her new name. In the past, we've used a company to put the name on our boat. This was our first attempt at doing it ourselves. The whole process was a bit stressful - would it be crooked? would the letters go on okay? The name can be the first thing someone notices on a boat - I have a whole slide show on this blog devoted to cool names that I've seen. We had to do this right.

Second, check how it's going to look according to the measurements. The letters are essentially a bunch of stickers so it's best to check as much as possible before removing the backing:
Third, spray everything with Rapid Tac. This makes it possible to move the name around a bit before it sets. Remember using rubber cement when you were younger? It acts a lot like that. After looking at it from all angles:
Use the scraper to remove all bubbles from under the letters:
While waiting for the name to set, apply the port of call letters:
Wait 20-30 minutes and carefully remove the backing:
Ta-Da!!!!!
