Default Allow Drying Time

After you paint your figure, allow the figure to dry. Then apply your decals. I have read and heard coaches talk about applying a clear coat over the decal and the rest of the painted figure to seal and protect it.

Default clear coat

I always put a coat of clear coat on after painting and before I apply the decals. I apply another coat of clear coat after the decals are applied.
