Use a hair dryer to heat the decal up, then place it in position.

Foil's tricky as its so thin, make sure your tubing is clean and free from any grease.

Don't go too hot, or try heating the tube.

No, just so you don't wreck your decals, you only need enoughh temp to get the glue working again, not melt anything.
