Plain water you can use as much as you want with no negative effects, you will just slow down the drying time (which is the same as alcohol or soap just takes more).

Works best to align and position everything with the backing in place, use masking tape to position stripes. Then use small masking tape sections to mark where the stripes should go on the edges (like in the pictures from our instructions posted above). That way you can measure stripes, move them around or even take the car outside and look at a distance. Then once they are positioned where you want you stick them down.
well...there ya go. straight from the horses/big worm's mouth...lol. he would certainly know more than me about his own stuff. it's obvious he's doing it right. at least I got the keep it wet part right...lol
