Trimming decals

[majel]

When is the best time to split a decal that covers body panels that are to be separated? Do you split them before they completely dry or wait for them to dry?

I split them when completely dry and then re-wet the edges with setting solution to get them to lay into the groove a bit better.

DRY.

Ditto to what Rob said.

If you try to cut the decal while it is wet, you run the risk of the whole decal shifting and that can lead to other problems. Best to wait for it to be dry or very near to being dry to cut the decal.
