Uniform numbers
 
Hey all
How come my Miggle uniform numbers won't completely stick to my Miggle "67" Big Man players? :(

Time to up grade
 
With the advancement of things in this hobby the old miggle stick on numbers , or any other type are not as effective as using decal numbers .

You might want to go to the decals :)

Stick-on Numbers
 
When using any stick-on numbers you have to carefully trim the edges and corners so the number lays and adheres to the contour of the figure. I use very sharp scissors, tweezers to hold the number while cutting and to apply it, and a round toothpick to smooth out the number once applied. This should solve your problem. I like the vinal BuzzBall numbers best. Ray F.

Finger Foils Finale
 
IF you use your fingers to peel-n-stick the numbers, then THAT'S THE PROBLEM!!! NEVER, EVER, EVER touch the adhesive with your fingers!!!! Once you do that, all the sticky transfers to your finger and leaves your skin's oil residue on the number and it'll never stick properly.

I ALWAYS use a very sharp Exacto knife to trim the number as close to the ink as possible and then use the tip of that Exacto to place it on the player. Then I use a Q-tip to rub it down, or the backside edge of the Exacto to squish it into the creases (if any) and contours.

Happy numbering from now on! ;)
