Question Deacals and Gloss Coat

Is there a minimum time you have to wait between applying water slide decals and the finish clear coat? Like a certain cure or dry time. Also what about the peel and stick decals. Is there a wait time on these? Thanks nukemmcssret

I would usually wait for 24 hours with water slde decals, especially if you have had to use a setting film. If you used water to simplify the application of self adhesive decals, then you need the time for the water to truly evaporate fom the edge. You did squeegee it all out right?
