He shows on his website the 4 bottles of decal solution to prime the figure or whatever but do I need all 4 or even any at all? Thanks

I'm not sure what that is. I never used them for Punk/Brock or Ravens tattoos.

not sure about the bottles you're talking about but simple clear nail polish works just as well to protect the decal.

Read what type of decal it is you are buying. Brock ones are stickers. Just peel and stick. Some of the others you need to cut with a hobby knife, dip in hot water to activate the adhesive, and apply. They are a little more difficult and tedious. Maybe that is what the solution is. To prepare the area of the figure. But clear coat nail polish is great for after the decal is set.

This stuff is used for getting all the oils and stuff off the surface before you put down the decal. If there is release agent or hand grease on the area the glue will not stick. You can get the same result by washing the area you are going to put the decal on with warm soapy water before hand. Just make sure you scrub it and get all the soap off before you try to put it on. Afterwards as everyone else said, clear nail polish over/under the areas that don't stick. and run it around the edges. You can spray a little bit of matte sealer over that once it dries to eliminate the gloss. Thats what I did with the raven tattoo's and you can't even see the edge of the decal now.
