substitutes for decal setting solutions
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 15, 2003 10:40 AM
Is there any substitute for decal setting solutions? Home made? Maybe found on a drugstore, the supermarket, a hardwarestore, an art store, a stationary?

please send replies to jara701219@aol.com

Not being a chemist, and judging by the smell, I think that the Micro-set type products have alcohol and water and possibly a detergent, while the Micro-Sol type products have acetic acid and a wetting agent. Acetic acid is the acid in vinegar, so maybe you could try a home brew. The commercial solutions last years for me, so the cost and availabilty are not a problem, but experimentation is always interesting.

vinegar will work, but I recommend trying a test strip. I have used it several times, and on acrylic paints, but they are always sealed with future.
