F/CNUT Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Other than using decal setting solutions to lay decals down around fenders etc, what else can be used to make them conform with out wrinkling? Any help would be appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teds57 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I use a decal setting solution and a hair dryer to get them to conform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC Norton Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 if the decal itself has the clear carrier in areas that is not seen as your actual DECAL, per say, very carefully placed slits with a new no. 11 xacto blade may help in the clear carrier areas. however, I have always found, for about 35 years now,....that SOLVASET brand solution works the best for these tough jobs. if you are wary that the solution will burn or dis-tort your image,..and it can if too much is applied,..i use a small plastic bowl,..any type,...cut your solvaset 50/50 with fresh tepid water, and that should help you. the solvaset can be mixed and thinned with water to your liking for delicate and older decals,...hope this helps. regards, a.c. oh, stay away from testors decal set, its truly pure junk,....and even though some people swear by 2 part microsol/ set stuff, I have always found it to be messy , and usually can leave staining on your paint even after cleaned and polished.....burns thru your decals and paint as well.....
