How to apply decals?

I got some decals from RC Lipos. How do I apply them to the boat?

not sure what type you got. Are they peel and stick? If so, peel 'em and stick 'em. If it's a water slide decal, you put in water until the decal starts to come off the backing and then slide the decal onto the boat and sponge out the excess water.

I think they are peel and stick. There is a thicker paper on one side that peels off and then a very thin paper on the side. It seems to be tricky to get all the letters to come off correctly.

Northernboater. I use washing up detergent (2 drops in a glass of water) I wet down the area where the decals will go , then peel of the sticker and apply to the hull. The water helps you move them into the right place , Then all you have to do is (paper towel) smooth them out so that there is no air bubbles under the decals. If you end up with some air bubbles use a pin and pop them then smooth out again. BONEWAR

It sounds like you have vinyl cut decals! If you have a local sign shop, go there. They can show you how to apply them. It's a little tricky to explain it here.
