Got a bit of a problem. I oiled up a net bat and then decided I should get some stickers.

Now the stickers won't stick opps.

Now I thought about waiting a few days but the stickers have lost their stickiness due to the oil.

Can I glue the stickers into the bat? I probably won't change then ever to be honest.

Wack some PVA wood glue on the back, stick them in position and squeeze any excess from the stickers (middle first pushing out wards. Leave a couple of days before use and it should be fine.
That did the trick for me anyway

Thanks mate!

The front sticker looks great, the back one got some bubbles near the spine. It is a huge sticker so expected some. You can only see them when up against the light

Glad it worked for you mate 

Getting all the bubbles out can be a pain using this method, but as long as you get rid of the worse ones it usually looks okay.

If the bubbles are annoying you it might be worth sticking a pin in them and pushing the air out.

Some of the bubbles are horrendous.

It is my first attempt on my free net bat I got. From a distance it looks okay, only when you are close up does it look a bit shoddy haha. It is my first attempt so will live with it. Next time will be a lot more professional. Next time I will sticker up then oil.

may be a few bubbles on the back sticker but other than that doesn't look too bad mate

Thanks buddy

The bubbles are up the spine, which may mean it is more the bat than the stickers.  If the shape of the ridge changes noticeable between the top of the bat and the bottom of the sticker, you may find that this will always happen.
