One thing about those water transfer decals is sometime (or perhaps most
times) over time they lose the ability to come off the backing paper.
Soaking in water is supposed to make the decal slide off the backing so you
can simply slide it onto the surface. But over time, the chemicals in the
backing paper that makes it slick evaporate and make the decal difficult to
remove. Soaking much longer that you would expect seems to help but doesn't
always resolve the issue.
It is always a good idea to use the decals immediately upon receipt.
They work just like the one you used to put on model airplanes and cars.

Subject: [TR] Decal instructions?
Hi all:
A few years back I bought the decals for the turn signals and headlight
(Dim,
flicker, off) switch on the TR6. that go on the plinths (covers really) of
the
steering column. Finally getting to putting the things on.
Do these things go on some special way? They don't appear to be peel off and
stick, so I assume they were the type you soak in a bowl of water for a
while.
Has anybody done these recently?
Mark
