If to be used on a Nitro plane, be sure to fuelproof the entire decal with either clear spray (LustreKote works well) or balsa-rite for film.
In all cases, be sure to apply some kind of sealer around the edges to prevent pealing. (balsa rite, clear laquer, nail polish, etc., as appropriate for the fuel source.)

Would you recommend fuelproofing the decal before or after you apply it the the plane? If afterwards would that seal the edges good enough?

Do a test before hand with your proofer on a sample decal. Not all are compatible. Ask me how I know this.

Spray works better than brush.
