I've been hearing more often about the decal sandwich, with a gloss-clear below and above. I think one big reason is to avoid the color-shift effect of the decal's edge. I've been doing gloss underneath and dull coat on top, but I am thinking I'll try the double gloss thing.

That said, tape of any brand on top of bare stickers is ALWAYS dangerous, I almost typed "bad idea" which I do sort of think is true. I have had more issues with decals since returning to the hobby 14 months ago that almost anything else I can think of. They should be almost the last thing you do. Only steps after stickers is the overall clear and the fiddly-bits.

One time I ruined a sticker was my F-4B, about half of the giant "NAVY" marking on the aft fuselage was missing, found it stuck to my own thumb! In that case I blame it on having micro-sol on my fingers and handling the model before recently applied stickers had set up enough.

Just saying, stickers are hard, stickers are fragile, handle them with EXTREME care. But please do not destroy your kit, you might have a 30-second feeling of satisfaction, but it will be followed by regret. Just put it away until the pain subsides. I have a $100+ kit in my closet that was 80% done when I dropped it onto concrete floor. It is broken pretty badly, but can be fixed. I started to think I was healed enough to bring it back to the bench for completion, but felt the pain again on opening the box, and it is back in the closet since I have not healed enough yet.
