Going to install my Cabinet Decals using the wet method. Other then dish soap n water is there a better product?

Any advice appreciated

Rapid tac ? Sounds like it dries rapidly
No room for error

Quoted from pinfarmer:

Maybe paint the cab first. All that fluid will go into the wood.
I find baby shampoo and water work well. Easier to get than rapid-tac.
The big thing is to make sure you don't have vinyl that is air-egress. You can't wet-app with it. The air channels in the glue will perma-trap liquid.

That’s a pic of stripped cabinet
2 coats of oil base primer then 2 black
One coat of min wax satin
I even sanded and sealed bottom
No raw wood !
