    Im still not sure what the value of these solutions are needed. I spilled most of it anyway.

    Tamyas solution, Markfit Strong, was a better product and doubles as both a decal set and decal solvent

    Id never used a setting solution before but found that it made decals easier to slide off their backing, position on a model, and then adhere to the plastic surface. Now I will definitely use setting solutions on decals and I might be more open to using decals instead of rub-on dry transfers. If you havent used setting solution, it is well worth an experiment. I bought and used the product recently, so the jury is still out on long-term adhesion.

    Always worth it. Used with modern decals these two solutions work as advertised. Older decals, from the mid 90s or so back, in kits may tale some extra work to get them to settle properly but this is still better than not using them.

    For being the first time using these products, they worked rather well. The one solution, Micro set if I remember correct, allows you time to properly set the decal. After dry, close thereof, apply the Micro sol like the instructions say along with instructions for Micro set, apply the Micro Sol. Leaving it alone providing that the decal is where you want it, The Micro Sol dries, COMPLETELY dry dont touch, all the detail comes thru giving it a more realistic look to it. For the first time using these products, they did the job.

    Both worked well for applying waterslides on my guitar head stocks.

    the Micro Sol performed miracles on the decals of a 45 year old Revell model kit. I didnt think they would survive but the solvent helped them adhere beautifully.

    Nothing to complain about.

Micro Set is a very versatile decal setting solution that does several things to Microscale Decals to improve application. Micro Set should be applied to the surface of the model where you will be sliding the decal off the paper backing. Micro Set prepares the surface with special wetting agents that cut the oils in new paint and converts the adhesive on the back of the decal to a stronger and longer lasting one. In addition, Micro Set slightly softens the decal film to make it more flexible so that it will conform better to the model"s surface. Better adhesion of the decal to the model prevents tiny air bubbles from forming and results in an invisible carrier film for the so-called "painted on look." To apply Micro Set: Use a soft flat artist"s brush and apply Micro Set where you are going to apply the decal. Then slide the decal off the backing paper using a small pointed tip synthetic bristle brush to carefully position the decal in its proper position. Blot the decal carefully with a tissue or paper toweling, being careful not to disturb its position. Allow the decal to dry overnight. It will then be ready for a protective coat of Micro Coat Flat, Satin or Gloss.

Micro Sol setting solution is for the most difficult irregular surfaces to be found on models. It completely softens the Microscale Decal, allowing it to drape down onto the surface of the model, conforming perfectly to surface irregularities without distortion. The most amazing results in seemingly impossible places are possible because Micro Sol actually makes the decal part of the painted surface. For that reason, you should coat Micro Sol on for only a few seconds and then leave it alone. It does the work. Do not touch until the decal has dried, as the decal is very soft at this stage and could be easily damaged. For the best results, first apply Micro Sol to prepare the surface and enhance the adhesive. Make sure the surface is free of particles that could get under the decal"s film and
