Not trying to thread jack...

I am also trying to find some square pre-cut white vinyl decal number plates for doors. I have searched everywhere...

65 in the turns might be ok but what about on the straight aways??

It works. I've done it for years. Just used it at Mid-Ohio last weekend. Print the numbers on your computer and then lay them over a stack of contact shelf paper. Use an exacto knife and cut around the numbers. I've cut stacks of 6. Takes a bit of pressure so be sure to have extra blades in case you break one. If you are only doing a couple of sets it is really easy to make good cuts.
