I just started installing the decal on my top.

No matter how careful I am, each piece comes out full of bubbles.

I'm pretty sure I just trashed a $100 decal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

would one want to keep the surface wet while working out the bubbles? I used to work in a shop where we screened big decals, and the material used was pretty porous- water soaked through easily. We put a little dish soap in the water too. I remember the whole sheets would slide around pretty easily. I was always surprised that the "trapped" liquid dried out, but it did.
