Made a lot of mistakes ordering, but this is a new one.

You world need a normally closed switch rather than normally open.

Oh wow, a v(e) design in the wild?

Images don't seem to be showing up for me.

Sorry, not sure what the problem could be. Try clicking on 'quote' and copy/paste the image URL to your address bar. I don't really know what I can try on my end, but I'm open to suggestions.

I can see it, maybe you broke yours, Brian.

Nice job, that's a whole lot of enclosure right there.

I saw a brand of sauce here in Australia the other day, which was advertised as being "all the flavour of fast food, but in your own home".

Vegetable shortening mixed with ketchup? 

To sort of rip off a line from comedian Jim Gaffigan: I've never had a fast food meal and thought afterward, "You know, I'm glad I ate that."  (His joke was about Hot Pockets instead.)

Hooot poooockets. I love gaffigan, he has a lot of things on amazon prime.

Why would you want that in a sauce?  Sounds terrible to me.

That's horrible!!!!

I'll be honest with you, I switched away from water slide to HP120G presentation (Laser) paper. I use double sided tape to bond it to the enclosure.  I did notice on one enclosure, when the pour was too thin, it pulled away. It's the only time it happened though.

Thanks guys for all of the advice. Unfortunately I think I've tried almost all of these with some results better than others but ultimately still getting a degree of separation. I know for sure the decal isn't pulling up. I did bake it on. I pulled up on the epoxy where it separated near the hole and was able to remove a good amount of it and the decal was still nice and tight on the enclosure. It sucks because I've got to the point where I can pour it perfect and the enclosure looks sweet. This one flaw may be my deal killer

What is your curing time?

Size is the reason. Somewhere here crammed it in a regular bb just recently. I used a 1590c for mine.

I have summed up my findings about envirotex in my etching tutorial - linked in my signature. However, I have not tried it with decals, which might change things. However, I basically do what Juan and Cleggy did for years and who are undisputably excellent in pouring envirotex.
Basically, apply the decal, cut out the holes, cover the holes from the back, pour the epoxy and fill up the holes. Once dried, drill it from the top with a step bit.

I've no experience with resins so just throwing ideas out there... would a reamer do a better job, anyone tried running the drill backwards?

drilling it from the back is making things worse as you push the epoxy away from the enclosure which gives noticable air bubbles below (makes it look opaque rather than clear). this also happens when the drill pulls on the epoxy while drilling them out (not sure why that happens sometimes... drill speed, dull bits?)

I used to cut it out first, then use painters tape to cover the holes from the back before pouring. I just got lazy. Step less bits go through the water slide just as easily.
