I've had the Wasp decals on my tank for more than 2 years.
The very point of the leading edge of the decal on the tank is beginning to lift.

Does anyone know a good fix?

Can I just wet it down and stick it again?

I've seen some posts to use a drop of clear nail polish. Anyone tried this? The thought of putting nail polish on the tank - even a drop - doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Not a good idea if you ever want to take the sticker off.... If there is no dirt stuck to the back of the WASP sticker then probably your best bet is to carefully add a small piece of double sided stick tape under the sticker/tank... just cut to fit first.... Then if / when you take off the stickers you can pull that up as well with no damage... If there is dirt under the sticker you will have to have lots of patience and do some pretty good surgery with a new X-acto knife and if your interested Ill tell you how to fix it all up... I've fixed this situation many times before...

Jaxon:

Thanks for the advice. There is no dirt under the decal. It is only the leading tip of the decal - no more than 1/8".
I may just take your advice and carefully trim off the part that has started to lift away from the tank.
