not just water as it will dry to fast, use soap/water mix. the soap will make it easier to move around. make sure to clean the surface first. I work at a stereo/car shop and i install car vinyls all the time.

Re: decal installation

There are tons of good how-to videos on youtube, that show different methods of applying decals. This one shows a good method for applying a decal, without water:
