When I sand the back of the paper I lightly pass the sandpaper over the paper... otherwise you will rip or take too much off and your sign will have holes. I sand mine down until the print ink starts showing through the back side but is not totally exposed. I then take a SMALL drop of glue on a tooth pick and coat the back side very thin.. I let the glue set for a minute so it kina gels up a bit...

then I rub the decal on with the back side of my exacto knife or some other smooth object.

I use a medium grit sand paper... too fine clogs up... wears out too fast... to coarse and it will rip the back side if you are not careful.

Oh one more thing... I leave the decal on the sheet of paper while sanding it and I feather the sanded edges out beyond the edge of the sign. this makes it easier to sand small objects. I then cut it out with a very sharp exacto knife.

tada!!! instant el-cheapo sign
