I've heard of that method, and I can't argue with the results, but I'm sure it takes practice and I don't want to mess up a body I've spent time trimming and painting by screwing up the decals while learning how to conform them with heat.

Does the decal conform automatically or do you have to stretch it while heating it? If it's the latter it seems like you'd end up needing 3 or 4 hands to get it to come out right.
