    Don’t forget the most important tip which is to knock the bottles over and spill it all over your desk…

      100%, which is why I started using small painter pallets and pouring a small amount out into a well, then putting the cap back on those bottles or I will do that every time lol.

      That's why i always have doubles or triples in terms of washes, paints, and decal based products like Mirosol/Set.

    I have been modeling for a long time without decal set. Mostly successful, but some screwups I hope this helps. One thing I do know, is never use a toothpick on decals unless you have to. I use a Q-tip. It's gentle and soaks up excess water. Thanks for the video.

      Agreed. NO TOOTHPICS. A Q-tip or pencil with an eraser. Use the eraser.

    Absolutely helpful. I hate waterslide decals with a passion, but I'm putting together a kit for my dad that's based on the actual military craft he help design and it is all waterslide. This makes things significantly easier.

    Hallo. One question. I have 1/16 Tiger tank, matt grey colour. Decals are glossy, and that looks bad . Can I use this products to stickt them to tank and make him matt like rest of the tank. Thanks

    • @prometheusgunpla8444
      @prometheusgunpla8444  3 года назад +4

      Yes you can use this to apply them and I would use a matt topcoat over the model afterwards. This should give the desired effect your after. I have done a similar thing on other models in the past just make sure the waterslides are fully dry before topcoating. Hope this helps.

    • @prometheusgunpla8444

      Yes it is, would also say gloss over once you have applied them to fully seal the decals

    Does that strengthen the adhesion of the decal? I wanna use waterslides for a real motorcycle fairings

    • @bigfloppymonster
      @bigfloppymonster 2 месяца назад

      I don't think it impacts the adhesive properties as much as it makes the water slide working time longer and they softens it further so the decal shrinks more to the surface for a painted on look

    • @modelman8139
      @modelman8139 Год назад

      I know it's a late reply, but yes you can use just the micro sol by itself. I purchased both and have only used micro sol the majority of the time

    What does the Micro Sol actually do?

    • @prometheusgunpla8444
      @prometheusgunpla8444  2 года назад +2

      Hi the micro sol softens the waterslide allowing it to adhere to awakward surfaces, the set then makes it harden faster to the new shape. But still best to go over with a topcoat to seal the transfer.
