WOW....I might have to charge you for all these answers....lol

1 GLUE. ....Always use it from a bottle and use a toothpick to apply it. When it gets to old looking etc just change to a new one. Thats what i have found to be the best.Or the tubes with the long then nose on them like Revell glue.

2 Decals.......Did you soak them in warm water(not hot)...and for long enough??
You should soak them just long enough so they are easy enough to slide off the paper. Or maybe the water you used was to hot which well melt them or it was to cold and ripped them.

3 On nearly all decals i use "microset" which softens the decal so it can "hug" around parts etc. You apply the MS to the model, lay the decal over it and apply more MS to it and then let soak for a minute or two. Then use a soft brush to start brushing the air/wrinkles out. If they still look wrinkly....use a hair dryer on warm to help out.

4 Masking....only use Taymia masking...the stuff is the best by far.
