I am having terrible luck getting the decals on the turret of a t34/85 to adhere without the dreaded silvering....I put down a coat of future and let it dry then installed the decals with the MM decal set in place under the decal and even coated it on the outside but no luck...does anyone have info to help with this it would be appreciated, also is there a better product than the model master decal set to use?

have you tried micro sol,or micro set? These are from microscale decals,both are for the same use.DO NOT USE AS A COCKTAIL additive!
I usuallty use MM Gloss cote then decal.Then I gloss again.
Another trick I have used,is mixing a few drops of the setting solution IN the water I use to wet the decal.JUST A FEW DROPS.also I use a drop or 2 of white glue added to this mix.
hope this helps.
