Centipede Sideart Installation Istructions (PDF) ???

I've read on arcaderenovations.com that there is a PDF file explaining how to install the huge Centipede sideart on a cab (information about positioning, technique and so on).

Now that I've ordered my reproduction sideart and because I've never applied a sideart that big before, I really could use this - after all, I don't want to ruin it. Does anybody have this file and could post it here?
 
I've done plenty of side art before but never one of these. If it were me, I'd ask someone to measure from the bottom of the cabinet to the bottom of the mushroom stem, and then you can tape the artwork up, measure in from the sides to the widest piece of the side art and get that even on both sides and apply it. I personally have always used the dry method and have never had any issues. People will comment about using the wet method because they prefer that method. There is no right or wrong way as long as you don't end up with a bubbled up mess on your hands.

DO NOT USE THE WET METHOD TO INSTALL CENTIPEDE SIDE ART!!! Not unless you coat the wood with a waterproof (oil-based) primer or sealant first. The cabinet is made with MDF and if you use the wet method, you'll find your new side art will now have a million tiny little bumps underneath it, and look like shit....
