Works on all with the exception of foil backed ones which can be difficult to do using soapy water.  There is a how to guide in the tech and restoration stickies thread  :daumenhoch:.

Here it is ... http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=24584.0

That works sort of but it also helps if you did it for a living for 14yrs of your life.

Whats posted above is the best way to do it, but only add a small amount of fairy liquid to your water. If you add too much it's a right bitch to set the stickers.
If you do get a bubble which does not want to leave, we use to make a very small pin prick hole and chase the air out of that.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.
