Keep your Micro Scale Int’l Micro Set… translucent bottle, white cap, blue lettering…
At the opposite end of the bench from the Micro Scale Int’l Liquid Decal Film… translucent bottle, white cap, blue lettering…
I picked up the wrong bottle and brushed some where I was about the place a large decal, so it was a lot, and it was all gooey. I couldn’t figure what had happened. I once had a bottle left over from 20+ years ago and it was fine. By the time I noticed what I did, it had eaten though the gloss lacquer and was starting to get to work on the paint.
Back to the spray booth. (Now how much white did I add to the Non-secular Blue???)
A warning worth heeding…like don’t have a bottle(with brush) of SOLVASET and a bottle(with brush) of Testors liquid glue next to each other on the work bench…late at night, very tired, trying to rush a decal job…I couldn’t figure out why my 1:48 aircraft decals looked so rough and not “snuggling down” on the wing as they normally did. Only then did I realize Solvaset doen’t have an odor like Testors glue does!! I let the glue dry(it wasn’t brushed on very thick) and next day chipped the damaged decals off with my fingernail…reapplied new decals and all was well…lucky for me I only screwed up 2 decals and not the entire plane. Mr. Wingnut, I feel your pain…
That’s awful Marc! Sorry your plane had to suffer for the greater good in the name of education, but all of our future models thank you for the warning.
Oh Dear, poor wing_nut, I do hope you managed to repair the paintwork.[tup]
As for myself,
Micro Scale - Micro Set… translucent bottle, white cap, BLUE lettering…
Micro Scale - Micro Set Micro Sol … translucent bottle, white cap, RED lettering…
Took me ages to work out what the ‘settling down into the panel lines etc meant’, of course if you use them in the CORRECT order, it’s very obvious.[banghead]
[OOPS, got that wrong AGAIN]
Best Wishes,
Mick.
I only have one bottle of decal solution and Im honestly not sure what it does. I just put it on when I use decals. I didnt know I needed two types really. I think it is Micro Sol, whenever I put it on the decals sometimes wrinkle a bit but then dry fine (once or twice they warped out of place). I sometimes just clear coat over it after, hardly though because I dont seal most of my models. But to me it looks fine.
