Rick,
    I applied it to the wires when they were fully installed on the Model. Like any rigging operation, it's a real challenge to work between the wings. In this case it was manageable, just had to work slowly and ensure that measurements were accurate before applying the decal.
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Lance. Perhaps I will go back someday and do the wires on my 28  :-\

Rick, 
   The wires on mine were done with a mix of my normal 0.13mm Mono and Steve Robson's 0.14mm stuff. The "key' is getting the width of the decal strip as close to double the spacing between your twin wires as you can without going too far over; you want it to be able to curl around itself freely when the Microsol takes effect. I'll be very interested in seeing how you make out; if it "bombs" you should be able to just remove it and try again..........or not!
Cheers,
Lance
