New ones already have the adhesive on them, not sure what's best to use on used ones.
One tip though, always carefully bend the decals to the exact shape of the barrels before sticking them on.HTH :P
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Anybody know where you can get the Black embossed one's with the misspelt "Q" ?

Cheers Scotch.
