Hey folks, any suggestions on how to get these darned things to lay down?

They don't respond to MicroSol or MicroSet and if you just use water, they dry out and are want to blow away. I tried using some clear over them to simulate a bezel but don't know if that will work.

They are very small for the instrument panel and need some love. Any suggestions?

How do you mean? To loosen the decals or to set them?

To try to get them to settle down.

You can also try the product formerly known as Future. Apply Future where the decal is going to lay and then again on top of the decal. Once the Future cures, it should snuggle the decal down.

I found another solution! Buy better decals from Starfighters (wing decals) and Airscale through Megahobby (instrument panels).

Fixed that!
