Usually two factor lead to this kind of problem;
#1 not having let the Future cure completely which is why I reccomend waiting 24 to 48 hours between applying Future and decals and
#2 Letting a quantity of decal solvent sit on the surface which is why I suggest using a piece of tissue paper to wick off the excess. Most decal solvents will do this like Micro-Sol, Mr. Decal Softener and Solvaset.
If you are in an area with high humidity you must work on the high side of that time envelope.

Don't worry - everything will be okay. Let it dry, tomorrow recoat the offending areas with Future and the white will go away. It is a reaction between the Future and the Solvaset - in the future be sure to wick off excess setting solution to reduce these kinds of trouble.

Future and Solvaset
Posted by Bones-coa on Friday, September 26, 2003 10:46 PM
Guys, I have a dark painted model with a coat of future on it. I was putting decals on and the solvaset I use for the decals seems to be turning the aircraft finish white. In otherwords, it seems to be attacking the future. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or will this clear up after I apply another coat of future over the decals? A little worried here.
