Best practices for applying your decals:                                       

• Clean model of dust then spray WATER-BASED GLOSS-coat on model where decals will be applied wait until fully dry

• Cut your decal to shape and soak in water until the film easily slides on the paper, but does not fully separate. While waiting, lightly wet the area of model where the decal will go with wet foam brush.

• Lay your wet decal over area to applied, with one finger hold down one side of the decal, and with your other hand, pull the paper out from below the film from the other direction

• Once it’s in place, use foam brush to lightly rub the top of the decal to remove excess water and flatten any bubbles or wrinkles. 

• Apply DECAL-SET solvent liberally all over decal and edges and let fully dry, spray the model with a coat of clear WATER-BASED GLOSS to bring everything to the same sheen, then once fully dry spray again with WATER-BASED MATTE or DULL clear coat.
