    Tip from a modeler: after wetting the surface, holding the decal in place while you slide the paper out from underneath will give you fewer air bubbles. It's also easier to align without risking breakage :)
    Oh, and MicroSet/MicroSol decal solutions will help it handle curves better and lay it down so flat it seems painted on!

Wunderbar! For me, relaxing, separated from my pain, thank-you again. We’re I fortunate to have money, I without hesitation sponsor your work. I hope my thoughts are in their appreciation sufficient.
