Update for this thread: I tried the "wet" method with the Resurrectio decals, and it was a complete failure. The wet decal simply would not adhere whatsoever to the frame, and it ruined the decal. I tried the "go for it" method with the other main - tube decal, but I suppose the frustration from the first one being ruined cause me to pull it off too quickly and an otherwise good placement also was ruined. Anybody have any tips for getting decal gunk off? I'm guessing blasting it with a heatgun may be the best best...
