Compare Micro Set, Micro Sol and Liquid Decal Film for waterslide decal placement, conformance and preparation. Explore the range by task and plan how each product fits into your build, decal and finishing sequence.
Placement, softening and film preparation
Micro Set supports decal placement and contact with the surface. Micro Sol softens film over more difficult detail and should be left undisturbed while it works. Liquid Decal Film addresses a different problem: reinforcing a decal before soaking. Choose the step that matches the condition of the marking and the model surface.
Plan the finish as a series of steps
A convincing model finish begins before the final coat. Prepare a clean surface, identify the materials you are working with and allow each stage to dry or cure as directed. Test the combination of paint, decals and finishing products on spare material so a compatibility issue is easier to spot before it reaches the model.
Railroad rolling stock, aircraft, cars, military vehicles and miniature displays can all involve markings, clear parts or mixed surface finishes. Let the actual task guide the choice of product. Avoid applying an adhesive where a setting solution is needed or assuming a mask is compatible with every paint.
Keep the right instructions with the product
Use the bottle directions for application, cleanup and material compatibility. Product names and similar packaging do not mean the liquids share the same working method. The individual listings explain the role of each item so you can compare them before ordering.
