The instructions consist of a single-sheet, printed on one side in 3” x 4 ½” format.
It says:
HOW TO APPLY NANO FILM DECALS
Step 1: Clean surface of model thoroughly and gloss coat.
Step 2: Cut what you need from the sheet with a hobby knife or scissors leaving a little extra on one side. Slice through the clear film (not through the paper) and use clamping tweezers to hold the decal. The desired decal will now be able to slide off, leaving the clamped clear film on the backing paper.
A diagram showing the above is next.
It says: 1. Slice through clear film. 2. Clamp here. 3. Slide decal off.
Step 3: Dip into warm water, remove and wait about 30 seconds for the decal to slide freely on the backing paper.
Step 4: Position decal on the model, still holding with clamping tweezers and then slide the backing paper out from under the clear film (lengthwise for long strips).
Step 5: Allow to dry. Use decal setting solutions after drying to assure a strong adhesion.
