alright, I've tried time and time again to get this saga die-cut on my new helmet. I just can't seem to get it out without wrinkles, so does anyone have any advice for doing this?

any help is much appreciated

1. use a heat gun or hair dryer as heating will make angles and round surafaces more managable and vinyl/sticker will be more pliable. heat as you or heat after to make corrections.

2. you can use a razor blade and make small vertical slits in parts that will be on a corner or round surface.

3. to get rid of bubbles or other issues stick a needle in it and push/rub the air out.

you can use a combo of them all as well

Put it somewhere on the helmet that isn't really curved.
