Cut decal to fit, in most cases the more precise the cut the better the decal will look. Clear backed decals will let the background through so will be more forgiving. White backed decals will need to be cut precisely unless being placed on white surfaces. Decal installation is not an easy thing to do, it does take some experience and practice to get it right. Once you master it, it will completely change modeling as you know it. The ability to add custom decals will change the hobby for you.2. Fill your bowl with room temperature water. Submerge your precut decal for 30-60 seconds or until the middle of the decal can easily be slid around. Remove from water.3. Quickly apply it to your clean decal surface. Position decal, backing side down and gently slide backing off. Keep the backing flush with your project as you gently pull it out from behind the decal. Press firmly, use your fingers, a damp cloth/ paper towel, or a mini squeegee to remove air bubbles. Gently pad off any excess water.4. Let the decal set and dry for at least 3 hours. Don't expose to direct sunlight during this time.Faq?sWhat is the optimal water temperature for soaking a decal? Between 77°F-86°F or 25°C-30°C.

For a natural removal alternative, try soaking the decal in vinegar. Note: We are not responsible for ruined decals during application. These decals are tougher than the ones that are included with most kits, so they are easier to apply than those but do require that you cut them out of the sheet they arrive on. These are not pre-cut like the pre-cut decals that arrive in most model kits. We strongly recommend a decal solution that can be found anywhere. This solution will shrink the decals to better fit the surface, especially contoured applications and will really give you a nice-looking finished decal. We have experimented with different brand and have found they are all pretty good so use the one you are comfortable with.
