backing paper with a pair of tweezers. With some water on a
brush, wet down the place where you want to place the decal.
This will help reduce the air bubbles that will form under the
decal; it does not eliminate them. Place the decal where you
want it and slide it off by holding the decal with the back of a
hobby knife and pulling the backing paper out. Some people
put decal setting solution on the car before applying the decal. I
don’t do this because it can be difficult at times to get the decal
in the right place before it starts to react with the setting solu-
tion. In any case, this takes longer to explain than it takes to do.
Setting solutions
You can see in [19] how close the decals are trimmed to the
lettering. The more you leave, the harder it is to get the decal
