ok, you had me confused for a sec. It is actually Mr. mark softer. Well here in canada anyway. you use it like any other decal solvent. Apply the decal and let it dry for a bit. Then brush on a thin coat, no puddles. then do not touch it for a few hours while it works. the acid will soften the decal and allow it to conform to all the details it is on. Becarefull!! This is one of the stronger ones out there. It is the best on japanise decals but may destroy some thinner decals like Acadamys'. Try it on a decal that you do not need on a scrap piece first to see what will happen.

Good luck
Take this plastic and model it!

hey, anybody know where to get this stuff in vietnam? or Malaysia? or just a respectable place on the web? I'm searching for some different brands of decal solutions and can only find Testors which are NOT working on my Academy decals.

I don't know about Malaysia, but you certainly can find them in Singapore.

Have you tried Micro-Scales series of decal wetting solutions?? they make Micro-Sol and Micro-set, both work very well for all brands of decals. Theu say just brush some on then apply decal wait for about 2 to 3 minutes then press with a soft lint free cloth to remove the excess and conform to surface details. then apply a light second coat and allow to dry. works every time!
