    I cut squares smaller than the decal then placed the decal. The squares I filled from the back with Gorilla Grip Epoxy behind that I istalled mini LED lights to back light the pannel labels. Labels are from blue sea systems

    Does the epoxy help to keep the decal inplace, what are the LED you are using?

    Yes the clear epoxy give a solid translucent surface in which also adheres the decal on. In its self I think that these adhere very well in that they are made for the marine environment
