Decals.

Ben,
I have used Walthers setting solutions for years I cut it 50\50 with distilled water. I have never had a problem using thin film decals. You are right though if you use it full strength out of the bottle you will burn the decal. John Pitts

Sirs,
I know there are some solvents available that will fix a decal to it's surface. But what was it? Who help me? Arnold van Heyst Netherlands.

"I know there are some solvents available that will fix a decal to its surface. But what was it?" There are three products widely used by both scale modelers and model railroaders: Walthers Solvaset http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/904-470 Champ Decal-Set http://www.minot.com/~champ/other.htm Microscale Micro-Sol and Micro-Set http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/460-105 http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/460-104 The Walthers and Champ setting solutions are formulated for older decals with thicker film and are very strong. DO NOT USE THESE FOR INITIAL APPLICATION OF THINFILM DECALS. However, they can be carefully used for final working of thinfilm decals. Micro-Sol and Micro-Set are designed specifically for Microscale's decals and work very well with them and other thinfilm decals; however, they don't touch thicker decals. I recommend keeping a supply of Solvaset or Decal Set and the Microscale products on hand if you're serious about decalling models. See Ted Culotta's Essential Freight Cars sidebar "Applying Decals" in the June 2003 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman for more information. Ben Hom

you will burn the decal.Using distilled water is best for soaking decals, too, especially in areas of very hard water. As distilled water evaporates it leaves nothing behind while hard water such as we have here in El Paso leaves a white crust behind. A gallon jug of distilled water costs 50 cents to a dollar and lasts me for years. Gene Green
