On this model, the rear edge placement is the most critical. Leaving the decal on the backing paper, the rear edge was visually spaced on the trailing edge cut.
When I was happy with the position, the backing paper was pulled and slid out from under the decal leaving it in place.
A wet paper towel was used to remove bubbles and wrinkles.
Gently smooth from the center out to the edges.
Hold the decal area under a bright light to see if there are any small bubbles under the surface.
Roll out the bubbles with a Q-tip. Don't brush the bubbles to the edge, roll the Q-tip pushing the bubbles out.
TIP: Be aware when applying decals on the opposite side of the fins. While the decals placed on the back side might seem set and stuck, sometimes fingerpressure can move the decal underneath the new one you are applying. Play it safe and let the "first side" decal dry a bit before applying the second one on the other side.
