I just apply Future to the general area where the decal will be. Whatever you use to top-coat the decal (gloss, semi-gloss, flat) will be much thicker than the Future and will give a uniform finish.

I have never airbrushed Future, and I see no reason to take the time to do that. I apply it where I intend to decal with a Q-tip, and then throw it away, i.e. no clean-up time or trouble. That stuff
