If the decal is on a surface where it can be used, I use a rubber
roller about 75 years old that I used as a kid to ferrotype glossy
black and white prints. Put a paper towel over the decal and roll the
decal.I guess a bayer would be about the same.
if the surface curves up so the roller can not get in there I use a
small damp sponge and no paper towel..
