Tip: |
Put some dishwashing liquid in the water. This helps to keep the decal slippery while you move it around to place it in the desired position. Use an earbud (cotton swab/q-tip) to pick the decal up out of the water. The tip of the earbud will absorb some water, and this helps to lubricate the decal until it's in place. Use the dry end of the earbud to remove excess water. By gently rolling the dry end of the earbud over the decal, you soak up excess water and remove air bubbles. |
