It's been a loooong time, but I've used them several times. You cut out the decal you want to apply (as close to the design as you can, but neatly) and place it in a tray. After a while, it will lift from the paper (can't remember how long, a minute or so?). *Carefully* lift it out of the tray. Try to keep it on the original backing. Gently slide it off and apply to the surface. Use a soft-bristled paintbrush to brush out any air bubbles. Work from the center out to the edges.
Most likely, you will need to use a sealant to protect it, either a matte or glossy, depending on your preference. I used to use two coats just to be safe.
I hope this makes sense. If it doesn't, you can always go to a local hobby shop. Model railroaders use these to apply decals to their locomotives and rolling stock, and someone there should be able to help.
