The gentleman from Micro Mark suggested using an ultrathinned white glue such as Elmers or matte medium and placing a thin coating on the area that was going to receive the decal. I did try this technique with RAIL ROAD CROSSING Crossbuck decals and worked well although I haven't used this method with large decals such as shown on the PADNOs LOGISTICS structure. Without the thinned glue, even small Micro Mark clear decals still curled and lifted.
Another observation I made was that the longer it takes the decal to lift from the backing paper, the more adhesive that appears to be on the decal. Large Micro Mark decals seemed to release after about 25 seconds while the Testor's decals nearly took a full minute.
