Does anyone know the brand of paper that LBM uses. I asked him a few months ago but he was a bit coy.
It has three elements
The top is a transparent cover which reveals a self adhesive image
The image itself is backed by a white carrier paper. This carrier is removed by the addition of water once the decal is stuck in place.
Simple and high quality, but I cannot find any product matching that description.

Has any body any knowledge of where to get this product.

Please...

Try this:-

www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=decal+paper+for+inkjet+printer&crid=QFWSKE6Y1YWL&sprefix=decal+%2Caps%2C176&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_6

(I've never used any decal printer paper myself...but I'm thinking of giving it a go)

The stuff I am after is applied by a dry rub and then water is applied to move the backing.

I suspect it's just normal decal paper, sprayed with adhesive as a fixative, and the transparent cover pasted on top.
(or Transparent sticker paper, sprayed with water soluble adhesive, and the white carrier paper glued on.)

If such a paper that you describe exists, which side do you print?

I can only describe the process to apply the decals. I have no idea as to how they are constructed. I don't think that they are 'normal' decals because they are printed in reverse I think.
