well i used the same stuff used to make signs to be put on windows, cars etc.
i knew of a place at my local shopping mall that made funny signs and license plates and they have the machine to cut whatever you want... told them what i wanted and they cut it...
not sure on the name but its vinyl.... the kind you peel the back and the decal is stuck to a clear plastic, you place the decal where ever you want and peal the clear plastic to leave the decal where you put it...
i was worried about the decal falling off when i put it back in the hot water but it didnt...
i just rubbed it hard and pressed on it for a while... made sure it didnt have any bubbles and tried it.
this stuff is used on car, and people use heat guns to get it to fit right on cars, so it works well with heat.
hope this helps, i dont know the " official" name for it but look for any custom car shops in your area that can cut decals and go from there. they should be able to cut anything you want.
good luck and post the results, i would love to see it...
