nothing special, a good cleaning of the stickers and then normal application of the varnish

Do NOT touch that Humbrol stuff
Melted my decals and liquifies the text AND leaves a nasty white residue - and had to remove them. What a disaster.

I’m an idiot for assuming the first application was a mistake as it was on clear plastic decals on one hub.
Foolishly (carefully with one squirt) applied to a metallic decal on another frame - one spray - and it turned the decal into a mush - instantly. Not even enough time to salvage anything

How do people manage to spray painted models with this? It’s like solvent
