How to set stickers:

1)

2) about small stickers.... it's easy!

3) when sticker it's large or have some holes into.... well.... cut a little part of his support paper
Image

4) try to set the good position......
Image

5) ..... and after that paste it!
Image

6) leave out air drops with and air dryer (Be carefull! Not too close! You can dissolve stickers!!!)

Maybe you have started at the wrong end ;)

Kreem is a good solution. It comes with a degreaser, a deruster and the sealing itself.
It is a mess (you have to heat up all these liquids over a time) to seal a tank by yourself, but it's worth.
I have done it twice. My Saturno #uno tank in '91 and on my old ('78) Y****a
I have just ordered a set for the second GFR fuel tank.
Be carefull (if you will do the work) the deruster is something like phosporic acid.
It will rapidly eat up your new painting if you manage to bring some of this stuff on your tank !
I prefer to seal the tank inside *before* starting the paint job ;)
Hope to get it done over the christmas time.

good luck, Joachim
