Need some help/advice on applying "old" decals

Hello,
I am restoring a "Domenic's" and found some original (old 80's) decals for the restoration.
They are reverse water slides (see pics) and in good shape no tearing or flaking.
The problem I am having is that after applying the glue that was originally used does not seem to be adhering well.
The first set that I applied went on well with no tearing etc. but flake off easily after they are dry...is there a water slide glue the I can use that will help the decals "set" and not flake off?
I have read on the net that Microset/sol is one option, I am curious what others have used when encountering a similar situation.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Ben



The glue is on this side and after they are applied they are flaking off after they dry...thus the glue is not holding. If I can get them to stick my plan would be to use a clear but I need them to adhere well first so there is no curling.
