Is there any sort of surface preparation, and/or perhaps a spray-on product (clear artist's fixative spray, maybe?) that makes such decals stick? I prefer water-transfer decals, of course, but many kits don't come with those.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help! (This would be helpful to many others as well.)


Try Aleen's Tacky glue instead of white glue. The stuff is really cheap and drys clear.
