10257 Carousel

flowerpotgirl

Evening everyone, Happy Christmas. I'm in the process of building the carousel for the first time. I'm at bag 3 building the centre column, and I have to say I'm finding the stickers incredibly annoying, no matter how hard I try some of them are not on straight, or need reapplied. I do use tweezers to apply them, but the look dreadful, especially the ones on the circular tiles.  Does anyone know if you can get printed bricks for this set? Or does anyone have another solution to this perennial problem?

The only place I've seen recommended for printed parts is https://steindrucker.com/lego-set-buendel

They don't seem to have 10257 though. Maybe you can email and see if it's possible for them to do a set for you?

Thank you @autolycus, I've sent an email across.

Dilute soapy water in an atomiser, one spray about 20cm away then apply the sticker. The soapy surface allows movement for a few minutes.

Not seen this tip before but damn straight I'm gonna try it.
