So I bought some old stock sts decals a whole back. Finally finished the build and looking to fit them. Started with the head tube and all seemed well. Fitted the decal, rubbed it flat and proceeded to remove the top sheet. Annoyingly some of the decal came away with it.
Started the top tube decal, thankfully I had a spare one. This time I left it to get warm indoors, stuck it down on the frame, did a thorough job of rubbing it down and again some of the decal came away with the top layer removal.
Anyone got any tips for successfully fitting old decals?
They seem sticky enough, it's just the decal doesn't want to part with the removable top layer. I've been pretty patient and done my best around the edges but it's mid decal that starts to lift.
Keen to avoid this with the rest if I can, so any advice will be gratefully heeded.
