[Guest guest]

hi kelly,

i have questions regarding decorating my sons doc band to. im not artistic

enough to do it myself. im sure your husband did an awesome job! go chargers!!

wish i had answers to your questions but i have yet to receive the doc band,

were waiting. just wanted to say hi since our sons are about the same age. my

sons name is also kai but with a c!!

Chargers. He then applied mod podge. WE are waiting for the stickers to get

here and apply them. When he painted it he also painted the velcro part and I

don't think he should have? Does anyone know how to remove the paint from that?

Or has anyone ever painted that part?

you just peel it off or do you use something to get the paint off?

know how to make the edges look so clean and get the paint off of the foam? I

think the paint seeped through the tape onto the foam...lovely.

Thanks Joanna! Good luck with the DOC band. We've been pleased so far.

Painting it was a little harder than we thought, but it looks fine and at least

it's not white anymore. I LOVE the name Kai with a K or a C! :-)
