Top Flite P-40 decal issue
I'm having a problem with my newly built TF P-40. I applied the tiger teeth decals per the tried and true method of using soapy water to give time to slide and line things up. That worked OK but now I have areas around the edges that won't stick!! They continue to lift up. There is no way I'm going to rip the teeth of now that I have everything just right around all those compound corners. Is there an explanation as to why areas would not be sticky or a solution that eludes me?
The bird is beautiful save for the peeling teeth!

It could be that you used too much soap or didn't squeegee it all out. The only thing I can think of is to try to wick thin CA around the edges that are loose. If you decide to rip it off and try again PM me, I have a spare set of the teeth.

Bill,
That's a good idea, thanks. I assume I should peel back, slightly spot it on, let it dry, then press the decal back on ... right?
