You pretty much got it right. Micro Set should be applied to the model in the area where the decal will go & then apply the decal to the model. The Micro Set will soften the decal and help it to adhere & also settle down some. Micro Sol is a more powerful solvent that will soften the decal much morel than the Set solution & is applied over the decal & greatly assist in getting the decal to conform over irregular surfaces & compound curves. Future is used as a gloss coat prior to decaling. For a flat finish, some flat topcoat can be done after everything has cured for a day or 2. Polly Scale flat works great for that purpose.
