John, I have alot of things in my shop that I have forgotten about, you are probably correct. I will look around. I was just thinking that someone would have had good luck with a specific product. It does need to be very thin what ever it is. This kit turned out killer and I want the the finishng touch to be perfect.
Thank you,
Jeff
There are three ways I've seen badges set on any drum; with a grommet, with screws, or with adhesive. Your badge has no grommet hole, or pilot holes for screws, just put a little dab of glue on the bugger and it's a done thing.
If I ever need a cabinet made, I'm calling you! I like it when craft people fuss over minutia of detail. It shows they care about the quality of the finished product.

I have installed badges with double sided tape.It does need SOME thickness-there is a very thin foam type that works good.But now to the real question-When do we see how you got that beautiful blue stain to take?My attempt was like oil and water-it just sat on top,even after a good sanding with 120.Dye?Lets hear it!(I have a Tama Rockstar that's DYEING to get refinished).

Well,,, I used a blue dye that was in an old color chart from my finish supplier. It is not a stain. You have to like fog it on with a good quality gun. So I did just that and followed with a level sealer (post cat) with some of the dye in it to make it darker. Then two coats of a gloss pre cat laq. Basically, several rounds of fogged on dye, two coats of colored level sealer, then two top coats of gloss laq. I would be more than happy to assist you one step at a time but for now the Packers are on and I aint gonna miss that!
By the way I discovered that I can with success I can do a two tone job with this fog method. I played around with it on an old shell and was amazed at the results. All I need now is a Purdie shuffle turn table to get it perfect!!1
OK, go Packers, i mean Bears.
Thank you,
Jeff

The Hi-Bond tape used for wrap is super thin and super sticky, meaning it will lay flat and you won't have to worry about the corners! It is basically scotch tape on steroids.
