How long does it take micro sol to dry?

I use Micro Sol all the time and believe it or not I’ve put finish on as little as 30 minutes after using it. I’ve never had a problem with the finish. Most of the time, you can get rid of (or greatly reduce) that edge but applying another coat or two of the Micro Sol.

What’s the difference between Micro Set and Micro Sol?

How do you use micro decal film?

Place the cut out decal on a damp paper towel and spray decal backing until it is completely soaked. Flip decal so that the print side is facing up and spray lightly with water. The decal film will start to separate from the backing. This could take between 5-15 seconds.

Are microscale decals good?

Microscale makes great decals, but they can be tricky at times to apply. I don’t use any of the decal solutions until the decal is in place and dry. For me, distilled water works better at floating the decal into place. I have never had a Microscale decal disintegrate since I stopped using Microset to float the decal.

How long should decals dry before clear coat?

I usually wait about 24 hours. Sometimes I will go longer but never more than 72 hours because by that time you will most likely be handling the model. Ditto at least 24 hrs before dull coating or other clear coating, so all the micro amounts of moisture can evaporate.

How do I apply micro set or micro Sol to my decal?

For the best results, first apply Micro Set 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 cause a blemish. Then, when everything is dry enough that the decal will not move easily, apply Micro Sol with a small flat brush.

Do micro Sol decals bleed?

In my experience, Micro Sol does not make multicolored decals bleed nor does it attack the underlying paint if it’s dried properly. Highly recommended. I used waterslide decals for some time and was unsatisfied that they simply draped on top of raised details or didn’t sink into panel lines.

How do I use micromicro Sol?

Micro Sol, if used correctly, solves these problems and can create spectacular results not otherwise possible. I apply the setting solution with a small, soft paintbrush after the decal has been positioned properly and has been given several minutes to dry on the painted surface. If the decals are thick, multiple applications may be necessary.
