Re: Vintage racing decals
Yep, what King said. If it does crack or tear just STOP and carefully add moisture and keep going. I've had decals all wadded up and on their way to the toilet for a final swim and then saved them with careful effort and loads of patience. Just don't let the decal come off of the backing in the water. If it does, just slide the paper under the decal in the water and get it back onto the paper.

Re: Vintage racing decals
I add just a few drops of dishwashing liquid (I like Dawn),to the warm water too.
It aids in lubricating the decal to slide more uniformly off the backing paper. I've found other brands of dishwashing liquid to have too heavy an oil content in them that show once the transfer has dried on the glass.This gives them small distracting rainbow spectrums throughout when the sunlight hits them.
