I don't use it... I just use the vinegar on both sides... Apply it to the paint, then set the decal in place, then press it down hard with a cloth or paper towel, check for trapped air, then apply more vinegar over the top...

Roosterfish - there you go! Finally someone admitting the use of a cheaper and more available alternative. The nose does not lie!  Approve [^]

Just what this forum is all about? Yes?

Yeah!! [yeah]

For years I've been using cheap white vinegar straight from the bottle.  I can't tell the difference.  I even keep it in my Micro Set bottle.

Judge - boy, I wish I knew the answer as I also suspect that the Micro-Mark solution that I am using is basically white vinegar.

Maybe, we/somebody needs to do some sample testing????   Wink [;)]

Micro Set alternative

Aloha all,

I just purchased some Micro Sol from Sprue Brothers, but they were all out of the Micro Set.  I've read that it's basically an acetic acid solution; can I make my own with white vinegar?  How much should it be diluted, if at all?  

 By the way, Sprue Brothers got my order shipped in less than 2 hours; pretty good in my book, and they immediately updated their stock listing on their web page to reflect what I had purchased.  I like that.

 

Much mahalos.
