I've lost the instructions that accompanied my Tango Papa decal sheet, does anyone here know if Krylon Acrylic "Crystal Clear" is compatible with these decals?

I've found Testors clearcoat worked well for me.

Always a wiseass out there somewhere... To be specific, my usual color coat ON ROCKETS is Krylon, and I often use Krylon clearcoat if the rocket has commercial decals. However, the Krylon clear does affect inkjet and some self-stick decals. In that case I fall back on Testors, even if it IS outrageously expensive.
Oh, one other reason I try to avoid the Testors - it DOES irritate my skin. Just the suspended droplets from the spray give me a rash.

Thanks J.A., Scott, David - looks like Testor's it is! I have thought about experimenting with airbrushing polycrylic too but for this project I want to stick with something I know.
I've noticed a little yellowing when using Testor's before, but that's a whole lot better than crinkley decals.
The yellowing isn't too bad at first, but if it's on something you plan to put in the "BB Museum of Rocketry", it really shows up about
