lol .. water > that usualy works well ... lol

no serious.... what i do is apply by sir brush .. or paint brush .. johnson's clear .. its a floor polish .. its water based and ypu can get in most supermarkets ....

brush on .. let dry 12 to 24 hours ... apply decal ... and then put a layer of matt or satin varnish on top .. then bobs your uncle done!

once done the decla becomes alost indestructiblae ....
