anj4de Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hello all I just started decaling my BF109F-4 with Lifelike decals and I ran into issues right away. The decals seem to have the strongest glue I have ever whitnessed. I do wet the surface before I apply the decals and yet I have almost no chance to move them into position, they stick right away and I already ruined one of the big wing crosses! Has anybody experienced this as well? Any tips on how to avoid this. The model surface was glossed wit Tamiya X-22 to a mirror like finish. thanks Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Beary Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Put a little saliva on the area. Yeah, I know it sounds gross, but it works. Or you could try a drop of liquid soap in the decal water. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hmm I just finished my Tamiya 1/48 Ki-61 and used a Life Like decal sheet. They were great and I had no issue moving them around to where I wanted them. I did use the Microscale system though and put Micro Set on the surface first. I had used Future as my gloss coat but probably no different than your X-22 gloss coat. Not sure what is going on with your decals but maybe try using some more water at your decal location when you go to put down the decal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
