PNT Models Star Trek decals question


Recommended Posts

This question is for anybody who has used any PNT Decals for any Star Trek model. The instructions say to use a few drops of water on the model, with a small drop of white glue. Can I use a decal setting solution on their decals, like Micro-Sol, Micro-Set or Gunze's Mr Mark Softer & Mr Mark Setter? TIA for any & all responses.

If anybody has any experiences to relate with these decals, both good & bad, I would love to hear them before I start using them.

Haven't used the particular decals you're working with, but it's always a safe play to try your intended set/solvent/etc. routine on a spare marking before doing something irreversible.  Even the experience of others may not account for some factors like the age or exposure of your particular sheet.

I routinely add Elmer's Glue to my decal water. Don't remember where I learned that trick, but it was a long time ago and helps the decals adhere better.

That sounds more reasonable than putting a few drops of water on the model & adding a small drop of white glue. It seems a bit too much glue. If I have some "spare" markings, I may try the technique on a test model. How much white glue do you add to the decal water?

I probably put in way too much, but I squeeze for about 5 seconds into a cereal bowl full of very warm water. The water ends up looking like very watery milk. YMMV.
