The microscale ones aren't bad at all, but the Champs are much older and prone to tearing, I have to be very careful handling them. One of the things you can do with the older decals is to spray them with a decal bonder to help them not rip, but i haven't tried that yet.
With the bigger decals I throw a bunch of water over the area I'm applying to and then position it into place gently with my hand or by picking up one of the sides with a pair of tweezers if it's able to move freely. After it's in position I'll dab it with a damp paper towel to get it in place. As opposed as the smaller decals I set it in place and then take the end of a paper towel and get it close enough to the decal to absorb the water from it, then roll over the decal so it says in place.
