wilderness1989 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Can anyone help me with instructions on installion tiny decals? I have destroyed a couple because they are so fragile. Edited June 14, 2013 by wilderness1989
High octane Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I had that situation when building the Batmobile and the decals especially for the dashboard were really small. I ended up holding the decals with tweezers in the water and near the location, then using a toothpick to slide them into position.
ScaleDale Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I do the toothpick and tweezers thing too. I also keep a spray bottle of water on my bench and mist the body before applying the decals. Then they don't stick right away and I can easily slide them around into place. You have to be prepared for this, though and not panic if they run around and flip over or what ever. A Q Tip will suck up the extra water in the end. Dale
vypurr59 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 I do all the above, tweezer/toothpick, but I soak mine directly in the setting solution to remove the backing. Slides off easier it seems and easier to position. Just my method.
ZTony8 Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 This works for me-First,put a drop of setting solution on the model where the decal is to be placed then apply the decal as usual.
