1st welcome to the forum

2nd try posting in the section referring to decaling,you will get more looks

I will try to answer,I think you can spray gloss coat over the decal sheet before using it,I also think that they make an actual solution to use in saving decals,maybe another poster would know

and lastly,some feel that using all capitals in your posts is the equivalent to shouting

Try this product:  Micro Liquid Decal Film.  It should be available at most model outlets, like Squadron, Tower or Sprue Brothers.

If you add 2 drops of distilled vinegar to micro -sol and micro set -2 drops per bottle .You will then be good..If it will not work for you,then get aftermarket decals.Restoring decals may work if you spray good liquid decal film light coat.
