Decal 101! I have a lengthy (ME?!) story about my 1/144 Kulula Airlines 737-800 model decals. I won't bore everyone here with such.Huh... I've always used warm water for all the reasons mentioned above by others, but this is usually a starting point - i.e. I run warm water from the tap to start with, but by the time I'm done, it's cooled down to room temp. Hardly ever a problem since most of my modeling projects (armor) have very few decals.
However, this is such a simple and straightforward idea / solution! I think as with every good idea I come across, I'm gonna steal it!!
