## Description

Microscale Micro Sol setting solution # MSSOL

Review: Transfer must have - Very good at its job. Use with microset and multiple layers until you achieve your desired result.
Review: Get that painted on look with decals! - This stuff is MAGIC. Decals typically have a very obvious DECAL look, especially on curved surfaces, but this micro sol really does the trick of making decals look painted on. Especially if you put a little matte medium over the top at the end. All the harsh edges of the decal sheet fade away, and they look AMAZING! A must have!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between Micro Sol and Micro Set?**
A: Micro sol is mostly a softening solution.  When  applied it softens the decal allowing the decal to "suck" itself to the surface it's applied to.  This makes the decal conform to three  surface nicely giving it that painted on look. Mico set is a setting solution which helps the decal stick better.  Decals can and will fall off once they dry.  This solution helps make sure they stay where they're supposed to.

**Q: Is this solution safe with Tamiya acrylic paint and Mr. Topcoat?**
A: Tony, I brush a few of coats of Micro Sol Setting Solution over all of my decals on Tamiya acrylics. Just be sure the paint has completely dried or you will remove paint. This solution works great to allow your decal to appear to be painted onto the rough or very detailed surface of your model. Enjoy yourself!

**Q: Should this be applied to a dry waterslide decal, or can the decal still be moist? Also, does the Microset make any difference at all?**
A: Yes it really makes a difference! First I always brush a little on the model where I am going to place the decal. Then place the wet decal and carefully pat down with the wet brush. About every fifteen minutes or so I put another coat of the solution on the decal until I can see the decal has "dissolved" into panel lines and/or covered the other details as if it was painted on. After all of my decals have been applied and dried for a day or two, I apply a varnish finish coat. This blends the decal lines into the surface and makes the painted on appearance very realistic! I suppose you could go back to models that have not had this process completed as long as no top coat has been applied and it would be the decals that you would be softening - not paint. I would test this on a model that you don't really care that much about because it may have adverse effects....

**Q: Do I still need to spray on a top coating if I use this?**
A: yes, after the decals sets on the surface properly it needs something to protect it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Only a fool would work decals without this stuff!
*by D***O on September 2, 2013*

I just started modelling again after 30+ years, and I did my first Enterprise model without this and it went ok, I didn;t put down a primer paint so the decals moved around a bit and it was workable. My second Enterprise kit I decided to give it the recommended base coat, and that drastically changed things. The decals would not easily move about as they did on smooth plastic. It was a real pain. I ordered this setting solution, and decided to work out the main hull decals while I waited, it was a difficult task, the decals would stick right to it, and when you needed to adjust it, they were very difficult to move around and I tore them, it was also tough to work out the air bubbles. I decided for the rest of the ship to wait for my product to arrive. It took me a few applications to really get used to this stuff, but right off I noticed the significant differences. The ship stayed moist enough long enough to actually work out the bubbles and shift the decals as needed, amazingly well actually. By the time I was halfway through, I had a system and was no longer intimidated by the process, afraid of what would happen if I didn't place it right the first time. After applying the solution to the top of the placed decals, I was able to work the bubbles out easily, and the decals were soft enough to conform to the shapes of the model itself. This product was amazing on every level, and the sender had this in my hands very quickly, faster then the anticipated mailing times were given. I would highly recommend both this product and the merchant as well! AAA+++
