What king of decal? Stick on or waterslide? If waterslide, you need to cp the edges to prevent what happened.

i think it was a stick on? not sure what a water slide is.
it had adhesive on the back.
i put some cp on the entire thing, as i thought i had read somewhere that many decals will lose their color with out it.

I never use cp on stick ons. Probably why it lifted.

If in fact that sticker has lots of dead space around the fish, by all means slice it off with a razor. don't worry about how the flexcoat turns white after cutting it.the next coat will make that disapear.

if it has a black background,,it to will turn white,,hit the edges with a black maker, then recoat////clear background,just recoat///white background..your on your own.

BOAT fish do count.
