Humbrol do a two-part decal softening / setting solution that sounds 
similar. In my experience it works fine at getting decals to 'flow' 
into a single direction (eg down into an engraved panel line and back 
up again) but has no hope of getting a decal to adhere to the 
contours of something with compound curves like a GZG vehicle ! As 
soon as you ask a decal to start bending in more than one direction 
at once then problems are going to occur.
