    I use a mixture of water and rubbing alcohol, find it works better and the remaining water residue dries faster under the sticker after the install due to the rubbing alcohol being mixed in. Both work good, just that what I've always done. It's super simple, spray the back of the sticker and spray where it is going, place the sticker starting from either right to left or left to right laying the sticker down to minimize air bubbles under the sticker, then squeegee out the sticker to get all air bubbles out and should be good to go! :) Helpful hint is to dry fit your sticker where you want it to go, then use painter's tape on 2 of the corner's of the sticker making a 90 degree mark on opposite corners of the sticker, that way there's no guessing when you go to apply the sticker. ( If that makes sense lol, here's a pic of what I men as an example )

    Good tip on lining up the decal.

    The card that came with the decal does Say adding 1tbsp of denatured alcohol as optional. I’m guessing for the same thing you said with helping dry quicker with evaporation.

    You can use it, just don't use very much!

    How many times have you installed decals with wet application like this?
