Hi Guys,

I am finally up to the stage of applying the dreaded decals to my build, something I've always hated doing!

I have decided to give the MicroSol and MicroSet a try, as I think that may be why some of my other model look a bit pants, as the decals are starting to come off or not sitting properly on the model (on nose cones for example).

Anyway I have read and watched the video in the link Tomick (I think!) put up on another thread and I think I understand what to do! My question is, can the MicroSol be applied to decals which have already been stuck on? As I have started the left sidepod already (Black lines and Vodafone Logo).

Many thanks in advance!

Dave

Hi Spence,

Thanks for replying.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused!! This site http://www.modelcartips....ecals-and-markings.html says to put the Microset on first and then Microsol over the decal - should it be the other way around?

I don't want to remove the decals I have already put on - I just wanted to do the 'latter' part of the process (The painted-on look). But wasn't sure if it needed to be done whilst the decal was still wet.

Hope that makes sense?

Dave

To be honest i've used both either way round, you try keeping that stuff from running off!! They both soften and set but the Sol is better for un-even surfaces like Armour etc..

One thing I have said to a few about the decal on the DeaG McLaren nose is to cut it right down the middle.. this makes it a lot easier to handle and manipulate.. make sure you use a fresh new blade (not scissors)

hey Diddy, I did the 'cutting the decal in half' thing that Warthog suggested and it worked a treat mate,its not noticable at all...in case you were in two minds, Thanks Warty

Happy to help

You should be able to manipulate it with more microsol... try to get under the end of the decal and keep wetting it with a small brush so that it starts to lift.
