I've had some luck with using a lot - and I mean a lot - of micro sol and micro set. Just soften the decal with a decal solution repeatedly until it conforms to the zimmerit texture. I also use the tip of a dampened sponge to dab the decal down.

Hope this helps,

Scott

I do the same as Scott it works perfectly just be careful when reapplying the microsol as the decal can become very soft also it will often wrinkle before it dries this is OK it will be fine when it dries.
