Decal images
A number of our decals have white surrounds. Depending on
a number of variables, the white may or may not show up well on paper. Once in
the water, the white pops out.
Decal Application Instructions
All of our decals are waterslide transfer. Due to their
small size and conformity to complex surfaces (read: they are thin) they are
best handled and slid into position with fine tweezers and a paint brush. All of
our decals are coated to be resistant to ultraviolet light. That said, exposure
to direct
sunlight for long periods is still not advised.
To apply.
 | Be sure the area to receive the decal is clean of loose
material. |
| Trim the area close to the outer edge of the image. The
closer, the neater the application. |
| Put the decal in tepid water for about 15-25 seconds.
This should permit easy application without diluting the bonding adhesive
excessively. |
| Apply on your model - brush on - your preferred decal setting
solution where the decal will be placed. Microscale's products are very good and readily available at well
stocked hobby shops. |
| Remove the decal (on its' carrier paper) from the water
with tweezers. |
| Using a paint brush, slide the decal off the paper and
into approximate position. Manipulate the decal as needed. Paint brushes, one
supple, the other stiffer, work well here. Be sure the area of the decal has
setting solution. Keep your fingers off the decals at this point, oils from
your hands can play havoc later. |
| When decal is properly positioned, use a paint brush to
hold it in place and blot gently. Q-Tips, clean cloths, thin cotton section of
a T shirt all work well here. Do not use a wiping motion, the decal will
shift. Rather, use a padding or rolling motion. |
| Give the decal a few minutes to set, then apply a small
amount of setting solution. Gently blot this as well, leaving the surface
damp. |
| When the decal is dry, it is ok to seal with commercial
sealing products. Many different suggestions abound, check with your local
shop or a newsgroup. |
| Please note: Lacquer based products such as Testor's
DullCoat, while performing very well, also are solvents for everything the
decal is and forever will be. Spraying DullCoat on generally has little to no risk, but
be very prudent when brushing it on, otherwise your work becomes a runny mess.
(Please note, this problem concerns all decals, not just our product. Ours are
more susceptible due to a very thin and conformal topcoat) |
Service and Questions
| If problems occur with our decals, we want and
need to know about it. You've spent your hard earned, not to be
squandered gaming bucks on our stuff, and you've rightly expected to get something
that works. If you're having a problem with adhesion, registration, opacity or
anything else, please advise us. We do stand behind our products and will work
to make it right. Whether the problem is ultimately with the product or
the way it's being used/applied, we'll work with you. We're modelers and
gamers first and foremost. |
Suggestions
| We're always open to subject for decals and your
suggestions are welcome. Not all ideas will become decals, but all inquiries and
suggestions are evaluated and responded to. A number have been incorporated, and
more will be within a few months. |
