For my PO decals…and other long Johnson Evinrude tank decals I use a wallpaper tray…a long one…for soaking. Yes I also use MicroSol to set the decal. Decals after soaking typically have almost no adhesive left to adhere them. So clearcoating matters.
Used very warm…not hot water with a DROP of soap to allow the decal to ease off the paper. Do not force the decal. Use the paper to support it on the tank and ease the paper out from under the decal after you get it in position. Once the decal is on the tank…I use a spray bottle with the same soapy water to keep the decal floating as in move it gingerly into its final spot
Don’t worry about wrinkles…the MicroSol or MicroSet will take care of those that form on compound curves like corners.
Some older decals may require a bit of clear coat. Use something that will be comparable with you final clear coat.
