Janne Herajärvi Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Use tape to put your decalsheet to window where sun will shine straightly! After 19 days your decals are like new! When you take them away from window your must use Microsol Decalfilm to protect them. After that just use them Here you can see results! Pics are in Finnish Car Modeler Forum: http://www.fcma.fi/FCMABBS/viewtopic.php?t=4771 Happy modelling with old models
B_rad88 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 cool! thank you for the tip! i have a couple sets of decals that have yellowed or spotted! and i was wondering on how to cure that! do i have to put on a decal setter or something like that when i got to use them? and what is that microsol decalfilm? i never have heard of that before! Thank you for the tip! i greatly appreciate it!
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 You`re welcome Brad. Decal setter will help you too, but that decalfilm is important! You can find it any good hobbyshops. Check that link to bare-metals site, there you will findout what kind stuff i mean. http://www.bare-metal.com/Microscale-Model...g-Products.html There was note that sunlight harm decals but when you use that decalfilm it will help. Just try.

crazyjim Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Kinda hard to read that Finnish forum, but I see the results. How did you pick 19 days?
B_rad88 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Kinda hard to read that Finnish forum, but I see the results. How did you pick 19 days? hey jim, i used my windows translater, it comes in handy for stuff like that. LOL!
crazyjim Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Say what? Windows translater? Didn't know of such a thing, or are you pullin my leg? Maybe it's the heat that got to you. It's about 94 over on this side.

It's about 94 over on this side. no i am not pulling you leg! LOL, but yeah, i just right click the page, and that menu pops up, its below copy and paste and its right above the create short cuts! or at least i have it. its a windows live translater thats has either been on my laptop since i got it, or it gave it to me when i got my windows live messenger. and yes the heat got to me big time, not a cloud in the sky, and the humidity is very high! LOL!
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 lol, i wish for nice cool days! its so hot here! lol! Here is cold and last night it was snowing
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 How did you pick 19 days? It is actually +-19 days, but not too long. You can check progress every day and when it looks good take it away from window and use decalfilm!
B_rad88 Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Here is cold and last night it was snowing lucky lol! i love the cold weather. and with the heat index its 107* outside here! and like always the humidity is what kills us! lol!
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 Here was -3 celcius, what it is in your language?
crazyjim Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 You said a bad word! That cold, white stuff that falls from the sky. I haven't seen it or said that word in 9 years.
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 You said a bad word! Did i? Well what words ill have to use that we get some warm weathers on here darkcoldnorthernlapland?
crazyjim Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 -3 Celcius works to 26.6 Fahrenheit. That's cold!! We've been around 93-94 Fahrenheit the last few days. But that's why I left Chicago for central Florida. Got tired of the cold and white stuff falling from the sky. Janne - I just looked up Finland. You're almost to the North Pole. Holy cow!! It's a little after 6:00pm here - time to start making dinner. I'll be on the computer in the morning. Have a good one.

Jim here in Whitby on a fairly normal day in the winter (end of october) it can go down to 32 fahrenheit and on a fairly cold day it can go down to -13 fahrenheit.

Then search city of Kemi in Finland i liv in there. in winter here is sometimes from -20 to -40 Celcius COLD!!!
Nick Winter Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Then search city of Kemi in Finland i liv in there. in winter here is sometimes from -20 to -40 Celcius COLD!!! Is that it last winter we had one day were it was -50 degree's celcius, it was so cold the closed the whole province down.
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 8, 2009 Author Posted October 8, 2009 -50 IS cold i know that!! Last winter was pretty warm in here it were only -20 when was coldest.
Jon Cole Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 One thing you may want to keep in mind as you tape those valuable decals to the window glass... Condensation! Condensation on the window glass can destroy your decals! I have never tried the window sunlight trick before, but maybe sealing them in a plastic "Zip-Loc" bag may protect them?

Condensation on the window glass can destroy your decals! I have never tried the window sunlight trick before, but maybe sealing them in a plastic "Zip-Loc" bag may protect them? Good point! I havent think about that becouse i dont have personal experiements of sunlight trick All i know is that what ive been read about it. Good point ill keep that mind.
crazyjim Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Sounds right about the Ziploc. Did some research on Kemi. Are you going to go to the ice castle? A 20.75% tax sounds very high. Does a city of 22,000 have a hobby shop or do you mail order everything? I'm amazed that you're halfway around the world and we share a hobby. This is very cool. Nick -50C is -58F!! No wonder everything was closed. Somebody would have to be really dumb to go out in that temp. It would be only seconds for bare skin to freeze.
Janne Herajärvi Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Are you going to go to the ice castle? Does a city of 22,000 have a hobby shop or do you mail order everything? Ive been visited in ice castle couple times, it pretty cool thing. We dont have any hobby shops in Kemi, but Foodmarkets like Prisma will sell model kits. There is not much were to choice But eBay will always help and online hobbyshops worldwide. We have some good hobbyshops in Finland but they are pretty expensive and they not sale any great aftermarket goodies Also in UK are one great hobbyshop what i use. It is really cool to share hobby in here, and here i find best knowledge for US made cars if i got something to ask Edited October 9, 2009 by Janne Herajärvi
