Is there a particular product that helps with this? Some kind of decal bonder liquid or spray?

Have you tried making cuts in the decal?

Ditto on micro set and sol
you will need to gloss varnish the parts though.

^ microset and sol. also when the sol is drying leave it overnight before you put on any gloss. Also when you put on the sol come back in 20 minutes or so and poke holes in any airbubbles under the transfers

Just got those as well the micro sol & set, got a question as well
Which do you use first? I assume (maybe wrongly) the sol is first, to get it to conform to the shape, then you use the set once that's all dry?

No the other way around. I think the instructions are written on the bottles themselves. "Set" is the one you use to get the decal in to position, "Sol" is the solvent, so once the position is "Set" you use the "Sol-vent" which attacks the decal's carrier film and allows it to conform to the surface. Because the solvent attacks the decal carrier film, the decal becomes extremely delicate so that you can't really manipulate it otherwise you risk damaging it.
