Love it, works great. Now how long should I let it cure before putting on my decals?

A day would be good.

Yep. A day...although in a pinch 8 hours is usually sufficient!
Once you use Future, you won't want to use anything else.

I've got about 19 hours into it right now and I live in Vegas (obviously very hot and dry this time of year) so I'm probably pretty good. I love this s***. The finish is unbelievable.

Remember to overcoat the decals with more Future - after you clean any excess adhesive residue.

I am going to be putting decals on top of decals. I've started to put the aztecking decals on the 1701-A and after that I am going to put registry decals and all of the other detail decals on top of the Aztecking decals. I'm going to guess that I'll need to put the future on the first set of decals before I attempt to lay a second set down, correct?

It's not absolutely necessary, but if you're happy with the decals it's best to seal them before moving on to the next step.

May I ask something about future, can it be sent by normal mail or it this forbidden since it´s a chemical? Does anyone know? Thanks for any info!

It's pretty neutral stuff - acrylic in a water base (with alcohols or esters to make it evaporate quicker).
Future is sold in Europe, though. Look for Acrylic Floor Polishes - Johnson's Kleer is one name.
