    Is this what doomed letters supposed to look like?

    Got the doomed letter overlays on the black friday sale. They looked fine when I put them on and now they look all wrinkled up. Are they supposed to cover the whole letter? Click image for larger version

    No they don’t cover the whole Chromax lettering . Some lettering is still exposed . It may be the lighting but it looks like the lettering has gone through a meat grinder

        I would request replacements. They should not look like they do in the picture. By chance did you apply some strong cleaning agent to the Chromax lettering which may have permeated through the dome lettering causing the blistering effect?

            Thats interesting. I saw a set that dimpled once it was on the boat this summer. Always thought the person messed up the application somehow.

              Do you think the letters on that boat were doomed because they were hit by lightning?
              Sorry, I could not resist......

              Ski on dude!

                Well now you have me wondering about the back story of how the boat got in that situation. I have no idea about lightning. I use a search engine called duckduckgo and it has a feature to look for images using keywords. I found and chose that one for my quip because it showed the letters. That's all.
                If there were victims to this boating situation (other than pride) then I apologize to them for making a joke using the image. If anyone here knows them then I will remove it.

                            Oh come on. Sure. Pointing out typos can be viewed as being a jerk and who wants it. And you better be dang sure that your writing is perfect doing so.
                            For me...I was just goofin' on doomed letters. Did I point out any other typos that are in fact present? No. Doomed letters tickled my funny bone so I made the joke not as pointing my finger and correcting the error. But as a joke.

                            CHassmann: Watch out for that lighting striking your dome!

                              So you’re only a jerk if you point it out and not if it irks the $&:? out if you but don’t say anything? The only ones I correct are my kids because they need to learn what bad grammar tells the rest of the world (not to mention it makes communication that much harder)
