give them a coat of future, allow to dry then cut round the decal closely before soaking to remove backing.

Microscale do a " Liquid decal film " #MI-12 that much the same thing.

I highly recommend Microscale's Liquid Decal Film. Good insurance for old decals.

Another method is to spray the sheet with Microgloss and cut close to the decal after the gloss has properly dried. Thats the way friends taught me how to salvage older decals or decals that have numerous problems. H ope this works for you.

Decal set will make problem worse.  As someone said, you need the liquid decal film stuff.  Future is a cheap replacement, but not as good.
