problem with old decals

[jedimark14]

Im using decals from a 1987 model kit, an the decals aren't coming of the paper clear. they have a milky white color. will Micro set/ sol help this problem?

not sure, if i'm using older decals especially ones that appear to have very small cracks

i sparay a couple light coats of clearcoting on them and let em dry...... i always try to cut the decal as close to the actual decals as possible i accomplish this by using a very small surgical for smaller decals and more intricate ones like flames most other standard stripes and regular straight edge designs i can usually get with the regular scissors. by cutting closer to the decal it eliminates that extra "excess glue" around the edges of the decals makes them overall look nicer too and fit better alot of times as well

hope this helps some......
