Decal setting solution
Posted by TEISE on Wednesday, December 1, 2004 2:38 PM
Where can I find a product called " Walthers Solvaset "? I've found it to be the best for drawing a decal down over rivets or into panel lines etc and I'm out and want to buy some more.I called Sqdn and they don't have it. How about a sub?(I know about Microsol.)

Thanks in advance for any answers.

The shops most likely to carry Walthers products will be model railroad oriented, although our LHS stocks Solvaset & they carry no other Walthers products. I think you can also order direct from Walthers.

Also Gunze makes a product called "Mr. Mark Softer" that's just about as powerful as Solvaset.

I used to keep Solvaset, but haven't in some time mostly because I don't have a ready source. As I recall, it was one of those setting solutions I kept for the tougher decals, as I mentioned in the post I just added on the Sky Decals. But I remember losing some thin decals to distortion because the Solvaset was too strong. That it's used by railroaders would explain a lot. I mean, those are the folks that use Dio-Sol on a day to day basis.

Hi Hobby,

No flats are not godd for decal adhesion because the will cause air to become trapped under the decal and cause silvering. stick with a gloss coat first then the decals then the flat coat. as for decal setting soutions just where are you??? you can order them from online sources and shipped to you.
