So I recently moved…Ok well 3 years ago and had all my old models in storage tubs in my basement packed away with packing peanuts. I just started taking them out and all the decals are lifting up and peeling…any suggestions how to reapply them and prevent them from doing this again??? Thanks for the Help!
Misting on some warm water? some decal setting solution?, some Future?
Misting verses Spraying so the very small droplets would give some control of how much your putting on and may soften them just enough to use a paint brush to gently push them into place
I would try decal solvent if the setting solution does not work. Solvent is more agressive and makes the decal softer and stickier.
With a notable exception (eg. Gunze Mr Mark Setter, which contains an adhesive) or two, generally speaking, decal solvents/setters won’t help much if the decals have lifted due to lack of adhesive.
Some decals just aren’t that sticky when they are made and sometimes, bad application practices, eg. over-soaking can cause loss of adhesive from the decals.
If you can get it, brush on Future.
