yes

Align it over the old decal, I use a felt covered block 1' x 2" and
press with one side slightly lifted to put more pressure on the
edge. Then I lift slowly from the edge with the block bearing down flat.
Watching as you go, if any of the decal pulls up, just place it back
down right away and work it in. As in the directions, place the
other sheet over it and apply light pressure to assure good contact.
>o Should they be given a covering coat of clear finish or left "bare".
Best to cover; mist coat to start; when dry, apply finish
>o If they should have a cover coat, will water based be OK?
I have covered decals with water based finishes with no problems.
I'm certain someone will have somthing to say about varnish vrs. water base
for sound boards.
