Question on Micro Sol and Set

That's pretty much it,a lot of times you don't even need the sol,that's for applying over heavy stuff like raised details and zimmerit,but it does work real good when you need it,especially with thick decals.Just go easy on the sol because it is strong and can damage delicate decals

Those are the steps I use.  One can repeat the solvent if the first application doesn't completely do the job, but wait a couple of days between applications.  When using microsol or other solvents, never touch the decals once you have applied it, until completely dry. It bubbles up at first, but should shrink down as it dries.

It is best not to use solvent over Future. If you do, make very sure the Future is completely DRY!    At least several days of drying.  The strongest of the solvents is called Solvaset.

Another question I have never seen answered:  Whether you use only water, or Micro-Set underneath the decal, are you supposed to let it dry completely before putting Micro-Sol or Solvaset on top of it?

I have done it both ways with equal results, although if you put the solvent over a watered-on decal before it sets at least partially, it can walk off to a new position all by itself, as I found one time.  Of course, by the time I noticed it, the solvent had done its job and the decal was there to stay!

The steps on the bottle are pretty much all you need. I also use a small bit of sponge to dad the decals down omnce i have let the solution set in.

I have never put water under the decal, i put a dap of Set or Sol on the area the decal is gojng, then add a bit more on top.

If I use Solvaset, am I able to used a damp cloth like the others say I can? When I used it before it made the decals really brittle, but maybe I didnt wait long enough for it to dry?

Another question, if the decal does not go into panel lines can I apply multiple coats of SET or SOL to get it to work?

Ye, you can keep applying it until it conforms. Generally speaking, 2 or 3 applications is usually enouhg. And these is where i fine a piece of form useful.

Not sure on the wet cloth.

putting set down first helps adhesion, but sometimes this can make positioning hard, especially if the decal is delicate - better to put water down first in those instances

I usually brush a little white vinegar where the decal goes, then once it is set lightly brush on the Solvaset if needed.

"If I use Solvaset, am I able to used a damp cloth like the others say I can? When I used it before it made the decals really brittle, but maybe I didnt wait long enough for it to dry?"

No. Once you bursh on the Solvaset do not disturb it or the decal will be damaged. Leave it alone as it will bubble and wrinkle looking really bad but it all goes away melting the decal down into every surface detail looking like paint.
