Someone had suggested (a long time ago - maybe15 years)using a mixture of
vinegar and water as the moistening agent; it is evidently a
thinner/smaller/moreslippery liquid which allows the decal to adhere better.
It also evaporates faster. I haven't tried it in some time and haven't
tried both(mixture vs plain water) to see the difference. But it is
something that stuck in my mind....

Clean the new surface thoroughly and lick (or otherwise moisten) the surface
of the decal that goes against the glass. Squeegee the moisture out from
under the decal using a credit card.

Please forgive me for this off topic question. I know someone on this list
has made static decals, so the knowledge I need is here. We are trading my
son's car and he wants to move his college decal to the new car.I took it
off and now it dose not want to stick.Is there a way to make it stick again?
