 Griffin:

 

I have some Testors' decal solutions, I think the solvent and the setting solution, from about 100 years ago or so. I've never used them.

Will these still be good or should I but some MicroSol and MicroSet?

Thanks - Griff

 

 

Testor's Decal set is just vinegar and water..Most decal setting solutions are..   It'll be fine...

Betcha didn't know that when ya use it, yer douchin' yer decals, eh?

However, many vinegars sold for food use may have other additives and spices that are not that desireable- they can stain or leave deposits.  Depends on type and brand of vinegar.    If you want larger amounts cheaper, suggest buying acetic acid and diluting it down yourself.  That is what both setting solutions and vinegar are- dilute acetic acid.
