The EP-367 needed a decal on the front, centered above the dial opening.  I had a sheet of nice Emerson Radio and Television waterslide decals that I had bought from Radio Daze.  I add the decal to the radio after a few coats of lacquer have already been sprayed on the radio.  This makes sure the decal has a nice smooth base to adhere to -- if the wood still has a lot of grain, the decal can sink into the grain and look crinkly.  You don't want that.

I carefully cut out the decal, and try and get as close to the edge as possible.  Since the radio is already sealed with lacquer, I simply put the decal on the radio near where I want it to go, and drip a few drops of water on it.  After a minute or two, the decal can then be slid off its paper backing.

My favorite tool to use when working with decals is a small paintbrush.  You can use the brush to move the decal off the paper, and to center it appropriately.  I use a small scrap of paper towel to wick up the excess water, then double check to make sure the decal is where you want it.

The small paint brush can also be used to smooth out the decal, to make sure it is not bunched up or anything like that.  Simply brush across the decal to smooth it out.  This can be done several times while the decal is drying to make sure it is smooth and aligned properly.

I usually wait a day before spaying any lacquer on it, and the first coat is usually a light spritz of lacquer just to seal the decal.  Once that is dry, a few more coats of lacquer go on.  After a few light coats, I usually rub around the edge of the decal with a bit of 0000 steel wool to smooth out the edge of the decal, so it cannot be seen.  Then shoot a few more coats of lacquer over the top.  The decal edge should blend in and not be visible.
