Bad setting solution.
I was starting to put decals on a motorcycle kit. I put down some setting solution on the model, then applied the decals. As I started moving the first decal into position, it shattered. Now, this is not unheard of, and I began kicking myself for not scanning the decals first. But then I noticed there were alternative decals for the logo I was applying. I began to pull/rub the decal off, and the paint came up! This was Testors enamel that I had dried in my drying box overnight, then let it siti a week.
Only thing I can figure out is that I got a bad bottle of setting solution. This was from a new bottle! I will be sanding out and repainting one side of the bike body, and then applying the alternate decals- without setting solution. Now, this was a popular brand, a brand I always use. I suppose such glitches do happen at times. I think I will throw this bottle out and get a new bottle. But I will paint a piece of scrap and try the new bottle on that test piece!
