is there any way to safely remove decals none of them have been sealed with furture or anything so what do you think would work??

I think you are out of luck.
Decals to the best of my knowledge CANNOT be reused.

This may sound kind of nuts, but I have seens decals come COMPLETELY off if they are soaked in warm (need to keep it warm) water.

They are EXTREMELY fragile, but can be moved around....as to being re-used? Yeah, I don't wanna say that you are out of luck, but I have never tried it, so really I don't know.

I will say good luck though!
