Microsol - Help

Micro Sol should be used in conjunction with Micro Set, not by itself. Micro Set is a wetting agent which also helps the decal snuggle down and allows the Micro Sol to do its job better.

1. Apply Micro Set to area of model where decal is to go.

2. Apply decal. Wait a bit, then gently press decal down with a soft lint-free cloth (the so-called microfiber lens cleaning cloths are ideal for this purpose).

3. Apply Micro Sol and allow it to work.

If after both solutions are completely dry you still see blisters or veins in the decal, prick them with a needle or the tip of your #11 X-Acto knife blade and apply more Micro Sol.

Hi Guys,

I'm having trouble finding some Microsol in my area.  Any product out there that does the same thing?

Thanks,  Kurt

It's said that white vinegar will work as a substitute. (Micro-Set actually smells like vinegar)

If you're looking for an alternative commercial product, you may consider:

Testors "Decal Set"
Gunze "Mr Mark Softer"/"Mr Mark Setter"
Walthers Solvaset

among others...

 

 

Thanks Phil,   I'll give it a try this afternoon, and get back to ya.
