I just completed an F-80 that I finished with SNJ that buffed to a fine shine. When I used setting solution on the decals, the finish changed to weathered. Has any one had the same experience? Any suggestions to prevent?
I just finished a Tamiya P-51 and used SnJ on it as well. I then applid my Aeromaster decals using Micro Sol and Set. The MicroSol really seemed to stain the SnJ! That was about three weeks ago and I’m still angry about the whole thing. I think I’m going to strip the whole thing off using Easy Off and try again. I love my MicroSol but I think the next time around I’m going to water it down. I’ve done that in the past on other non-SnJ finished kits and it’s still strong enough to really make those decals snuggle down. So don’t feel like you’re the only one. It happened to me too. Best of luck.
