Shredding decals

I know this has been covered many times but this is the first time I have encountered decals that have to soak forever and then shred as one tries to slide them. [:'(]

I recall that folks coat them with some solution (Future?) before soaking them off and that works. Help! [I]

MicroScale also makes a product you can coat decals with prior to application to prevent shattering. It is bsicly a top coat/clear coat.

Yep, MicroScale’s Liquid Decal Film is a real life-saver. [:)]

I like Testor’s Decal Bonder… I use it all the time on 20-30 year old decals, and on my home-made ones… Comes in a 3 ounce rattle can…
