Micro Sol Setting Solution, 1 oz

The Micro Sol hasn't worked out for me. I do see it altering the decals, but so far it's made and left more wrinkles and bubbles than when I started. I've followed a lot of advice, including letting dry overnight and poking holes or slicing with a scalpel blade with repeated applications of the Micro Sol but my decals just don't lay down. I think your results are very dependent on the manufacturer, age, and condition of your decals. Don't look for this to be a miracle cure.

As advertised it completely softens the Decals, allowing it to drape down onto the surface of the model, conforming perfectly to surface irregularities without distortion. Micro Sol actually makes the decal part of the painted surface, obviously it depends on the quality of the decal, if its bad or below average, don't expect miracles. For the best results, first apply Micro Sol to prepare the surface and enhance the adhesive, Then put the decal, Then, when everything is dry enough that the decal will not move easily, apply Micro Sol with a small flat brush, and then leave it alone. It does the work. Do not touch until the decal has dried, as the decal is very soft at this stage and could be easily damaged, or it could move from the correct position. One application is enough in most cases but, some irregular surfaces require more applications of Micro Sol. I work with 1/72 model kits, and this product became essential for me.

This is my go to setting solution for decals. This, with Micro Set, I would highly recommend. Great pricing from Hobbylinc as well!
