decal solvent w/custom decals. Is this a good idea?
Posted by checksix214 on Monday, March 12, 2007 5:28 PM
  Hey guys! checksix214 here. I printed custom decals I made on my CorelDraw program onto clear decal paper using an HP 750 series all in one ink jet. I'm building a 1/72 F/A-18C from VFA-83 Rampagers - the CAG bird & needed the yellow rams head for the vertical fins among other stencils ( jet #, serial #, ...etc.) The pinting came out much better than I expected. I decanted the decal fixative that comes with the Testors decal kit into a paint bottle and sprayed that through my air brush. So far so good but here's what I want to know. I'm thinking I should use a decal sovent like sol-a-set after I apply my custom decals to the jet. Will the decal solvent ruin my custom decal?

I have used Micro Set and Micro Sol on my homemade decals and no problems. BUT... i owuld do an extra set and test it before your final application just to be safe.
