Essex Elite is right, I was told that the most important part of a good kart sticker is the laminate (as well as the glue - usually LG HD Vizuon or similar). The sticker kit is printed and a 15mil/375μ gloss laminate added on top - the ENDURO ULTRA versions being rated for 3 years. Take your micrometer out - if the sticker kit (backing paper removed) is below 0.50mm, then it *will* fall apart and its better at 0.6mm or 0.7mm - anything over that starts to get too thick to bend easily - although the old hairdryer helps to soften sticker kits when being put on and then they cool in the right shape helping them to last.
