Decal setting-laying issue


Recommended Posts

The solutions offered on your original post seem to cover the problem. One other trick - if you have trapped air pockets in a few areas, take a very sharp, narrow pin (or tip of a new x-acto blade) and gently puncture the decal. Then hit it with setting solution. That usually works for me.

On a related note, I'm intrigued about those suggestions to use Future as a setting solution for stencils to avoid silvering. Despite multiple coats of future, microsol, etc, I have always had issues with stencils silvering a bit. Has anyone here used this technique? I'd be very interested in some feedback.

In addition to what already has been said in the original thread I can add that I use a water-vinegar mix to dip the decals in and then Micosol to set them.

Of course it depends on the decals, but so far it has worked a charm with the exception of Airfix decals (Bf109) and Academy decals(MH-60).
