Decals over Zimmermit

I prefer to use dry transfers over zim, but I have decaled over zim and I use generous amounts omicroset and apencil eraser topush the film into the folds. Wait until the microset is dry, then push in with the eraser.

When I've applied decals over zim, I use both Micro Set & Sol.
After they have cured for around 1 hour, I use my fingernail and 'roll' it through decal, forcing it down into the zim.
After another coat of Sol, it looks painted on.
