I am building the Army Monza funny car, and the decals are horrendous. I applied them to my best of my ability and appeared to at least be decent once I was finished. It is now 24 hours later, and they are peeling all around the edges. This is even with using setting solution on the back and front side of the decals (not sure they are actually compatible with solution) and warm water. Some of them even peel off completely with little effort. I have tried using white glue or clear coat around the edges, but am not happy with the results. At this point, I am tempted to carefully cut packing tape and put it over them, but I would hate to resort to that. Any ideas?

Thanks

Put Future under them. When it's dry, you can clean off excess Future with Windex or ammonia on a cloth or tissue. I know model airplane guys who use Future as a decal "setting solution," putting it under the decals at application time and they swear by the results. I've tried and it worked well.

Thanks Snake. I will give that a try! Do you have to be careful with the Windex or ammonia possibly lifting the decal?

Thanks again.

You would if you let it soak in the stuff. That's why I said just use some on a cloth or tissue and wipe everything off immediately.
