FAQs

What is the best way to cut out the decals?

Use a sharp hobby knife or a new blade to carefully cut around the decal edges. Avoid cutting into the decal itself.

What kind of setting solution should I use?

There are many setting solutions available from various brands, such as Microscale or Tamiya. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Can I apply the decals over a matte surface?

It is recommended to apply decals over a gloss coat for the best results. A matte surface may cause the decals to silver.

How long should I let the decals dry before applying a clear coat?

Allow the decals to dry completely, usually for several hours or overnight, before applying a clear coat.

What type of clear coat should I use?

Use a clear coat suitable for plastic models, such as acrylic or lacquer-based clear coats. Apply a thin coat to avoid damaging the decals.

Where can I find additional information about applying decals?

Many online resources, such as modeling forums and YouTube channels, offer detailed tutorials and tips on decal application techniques.
