LVZ2881 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 used it and got some wrinkles in the decal after application... will the wrinkles smooth out after some time??
curt raitz Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 The wrinkles will go away...do not touch or play with it!!! but be carefull - some setting solvents will melt your decals its always wise to test decal setting solvents on decals from the different model manufacturers and aftermarket decal sources note: most decals included in past AMT and Revell kits have not responded to any of the setting solvents I've used. If anyone has had success with theses decals...please give us a clue, thanx the decals included in the latest Revell releases are very nice and have responded to setting solutions
935k3 Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Solvaset is one of the strongest solvents made. I avoid using solvents as they will destroy Tamiya's newer decals. I use a hot damp cloth pressed over the decal, it makes the decal conform and lay down immediatel with no wrinkles. Smaller areas can be worked with a hot damp Q-Tip. A hair dryer on the lowest setting possible work also. I only use solvents when a decalcrosses a panel line(like a door) and has to go down in line. I do nothing but racecars with allot of decals and this method works better than anything I have ever tried.
