Michael and all, the product that softens the decal, to make it "snug
down" to the surface, is called "Solvaset". Available in hobby shops
and, I suspect, at Michaels stores.-- Rich WB2GXM

I forgot to add that there is one additional step the can be added if you
want a very professional-looking result for your water-slide decals. ?After
the decals have been installed and before you
put the clear Krylon coat over the top, you can apply a product to the
decals that softens the
decal backing material. I am not sure exactly what it is called but it is
available at hobby shops.
What this does is to pretty much eliminate any visible "seam" at the
edge of where you cut out the decal. Once this has dried and has been fixed
with clear Krylon
the end result is very close to what you would get if the lettering was
printed onto the panel
via a silkscreening procedure.
