Achieve Flawless Decal Application with Microscale Micro Sol and Micro Set Solutions

When it comes to applying decals to your model kits, the process can be tricky. That's where the Microscale Micro Sol and Micro Set decal solutions come in. These products are essential for ensuring that your decals conform perfectly to your model’s surface, leaving a flawless, professional finish that looks like it’s painted on. Whether you're a novice or experienced modeler, these solutions make a significant difference in the final look of your model kit.

Why Use Microscale Decal Solutions?

Applying decals is often one of the final steps in building a model, and it’s crucial to get it right. Poor decal adhesion can result in bubbles, wrinkles, or peeling, which can detract from all the hard work you've put into your build. Microscale’s Micro Sol and Micro Set work together to prevent these issues and help your decals conform perfectly, even on uneven surfaces.

Step 1: Prepare with Micro Set

Micro Set is designed to improve adhesion and flexibility, making it easier to position your decals accurately. Before applying your decal, brush a layer of Micro Set onto the area where you plan to place it. This solution prepares the surface by removing oils and softening the decal film. This added flexibility helps the decal conform more easily to the model’s contours, resulting in a smoother application.

• Wetting Agents: Micro Set removes oils from freshly painted surfaces, ensuring better adhesion.
• Flexible Film: By softening the decal film, Micro Set helps it conform to the surface and prevents air bubbles.
• Easy Application: Use a soft, flat brush to apply Micro Set before positioning the decal.

Step 2: Perfect with Micro Sol

Once your decal is in place and has had time to dry slightly, apply Micro Sol. This powerful solution is specifically designed to tackle difficult, uneven surfaces. It softens the decal even further, allowing it to settle into crevices and around details like rivets, panel lines, and more. Micro Sol makes the decal virtually melt into the surface, giving it that "painted-on" look. After applying Micro Sol, avoid touching the decal, as it will be extremely soft and easy to damage until fully dry.

• For Irregular Surfaces: Micro Sol softens decals to conform to the most challenging surfaces.
• Seamless Finish: It creates a perfect, seamless bond between the decal and the painted surface.
• Easy Application: Simply brush on Micro Sol with minimal strokes and allow the decal to dry undisturbed.

Tips for Perfect Decal Application

For best results, ensure the surface of your model is clean and free of dust or particles before applying Micro Set and Micro Sol. When using Micro Set, carefully blot the decal with a tissue to remove excess solution, being cautious not to move the decal. When using Micro Sol, apply it with as few strokes as possible and then leave the decal to dry completely. Touching the decal while it’s soft could cause damage.

Allow the decal to dry fully before adding any finishing touches, such as a protective coat of Micro Coat Flat, Satin, or Gloss to seal and protect your work.
