First of all Dale... that is amazing work! I’d say you qualify as a decal master? In reading your response my question is... Do you mix a bit of dish soap in with a container of water that you then dip the decal into, or do you add soapy water to the Microset? Or is it something else? Please share more details. Thanks! -

So, are you supposed to add it to the water or just brush it on after it is applied to the model? Seems that once you apply the decal you only have about 1 or 2 minutes before it’s no longer workable... so does the setting solution work instantly? -

Thanks for speaking up...that makes me feel a bit better. Hopefully we’ll both get to learn something here. -
Hey guys, I need a crash course in applying larger decals. I’m one of those people that shys away from decals whenever I can. I’m talking anything that’s the size of a thumb or bigger. When it comes to racing stripes and the like I opt for painting them on rather than trying to apply the decals, because for me, masking and painting gives me close to guaranteed results, even if it takes me 10 times longer... It’s because I’ve had a couple bad decal experiences in the past, and the one thing that will make me flip out like a lunatic is a blemished decal after polishing out a paint job. I can’t stand seeing a wrinkle in a decal, so anytime a decal has to go over curves such as a hood scoop, I avoid it altogether. I do however believe I could be good at decals if only I knew some tricks and more of what to expect from products like decal setting solution. I have this beautiful HRM Daytona Coupe that I’m building and I’d like to use the decals rather than painting, so any of your experienced input here would be greatly appreciated! *My single biggest question is: Exactly what is decal setting solution and how are you supposed to use it? *I’d also like to know how well decal removal solution works in case you have an epic fail, and can it harm the paint? **In case it matters, all my spraying is done with high end waterborne paint and clear. Again, any experienced help would be appreciated. Thank you!

X2 on this as I am currently working on a WIP where I’ve noticed I need to make some corrections, but no longer have that ability since too much time’s gone by. I think that for WIP’s it would be nice to have unlimited editing time, or at least until it’s finished. -
