    Hi Chris
    John stocks them, but they are usually found in most model shops.
    Not much to instruct really. I think it’s written on the bottle but I haven’t looked for years. I use a clean soft brush to apply them.

    Paint the blue one on the model where the decals are going to go. Soak and place the decal as usual. The solution should make it easier to slide around. Press the decal down as normal when it’s where you want it And wick off any excess water with a scrap of tissue. Once it’s in place let it dry.

    After that, paint a generous coat of the red one over the dry decal and leave it alone. The decal will go soft and swell, looking wrinkly, so don’t touch it or you will damage it. When the decal dries again (I leave them a couple of hours) it will shrink back down to size and the solution will draw it down over the surface details giving it a painted on look.
