Thanks for the information. I will check to see if I can get better pricing at the mall. I found a website that said you could also use a hair dryer to warm up the sanded area to make it stick better.

I have the Stealth 14 and had to place registration stickers on the bow because I have a BassYaks motor rigged on mine, as my state requires it (NY). I ran into the same situation with the pebbly surface of the hull and stickers not wanting to stick very well. After a conversation with CJ at OEX, I marked the areas I wanted to place the stickers on, carefully sanded them smooth with a palm sander (being careful not to take too much plastic off)... then heated the area with a heat gun briefly to really get a smooth finish and also help adhere the stickers better (I was doing this on a rather cold November day last year in New York). The stickers went on fine and have shown no evidence of peeling off. Did the same in the back of the yak where the smooth spot was for my boat's name "Fish Taco" (I had to enlarge the smooth area that was already there). Worked out fine. :-) Good luck!
