I want to use the white arrow on one shoulder and the Imperial Fist decal on the other os my Tac squads, but when I place them on they wrinkle.

Is there a solution for this?

micro sol is a product used for softening decals for irregular surfaces

Just put the decal on , let it dry, they paint sme microsol over it. It will soften it a lot so don't touch it until dry ause it will tear.

Repeat application will result in supersmooth decals, just be patient

Micro sol is the key to putting decals on SM shoulder pads. As rdlb said, just be patient

Any other ideas?

If your just applying the white arrow to a shoulder pad . . . why not just paint it on ?

Arrows cant be THAT hard to paint on ?

^That definitely is an option. But use Micro Sol/Set if you're not at all good at free handing. This makes the decal form and curve to the surface you're putting it on.
