QHoneyborne Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hey guys! Could someone please tell me what the bottle on the left is for? TIA Quintin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polybebber Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 It's a setting solution for decals, and a good one too . I'm using it for years now and am very happy with it . Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
QHoneyborne Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 Hey Lothar Then what's the bottle on right for? Quintin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polybebber Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Mr. Mark Setter is rather new on the market and I havn't figured out its real purpose. I've contacted the Gunze Importer here in Germany and he promised to send me some sort of user's manual. I'll post again when I received it. To me this stuff looks rather suspicious though Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
laskodi Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Mr Mark Softner is a decal solvent that is used to literally "melt" decals to the surface. It is used atop decals when they are correctly placed. Commonly confused with "setting" solutions due to the name inconsistency with Mr Mark products. Mr Mark Setter is a product that is surfacant (wetting agent) that is used to help place/move decals around so air will not get trapped underneath. It is used under decals before they are correctly placed. Mr Mark Softner is a good product that I frequently use to get decals to conform to irregular surfaces. I rarely use Mr Mark Setter as I find plain old water (or spit!) works just as well! HTH -----Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mobiledeath Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Mr Mark Softner if applied a tad too much may have a slight discolouring effect on the surrounding paint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I also discovered that Mr Mark Softer will not make stubborn Academy decals bed down into panel lines Either did micro set or sol. Thommo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k5ikl Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I also discovered that Mr Mark Softer will not make stubborn Academy decals bed down into panel lines Either did micro set or sol.Thommo I guess it must be different decals in different kits. I used MicroSol on the Academy 1/48 F-14A kit decals and they went down fine and snuggled in where ever they were suppose to. Who knows?? The shadow do!!! :unsure: Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
