Its special wetting agents help prepare the surface for decal application, while the formula improves the decal's adhesive properties and gently softens the carrier film. This allows decals to conform more closely to surface details, reducing trapped air bubbles and visible edges for a smooth, painted-on appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBetter Adhesion and a Natural Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMicro Set helps decals settle evenly onto the model's surface, improving their adhesion and reducing the risk of air bubbles beneath the film.

Its powerful softening action makes the decal film extremely flexible, allowing it to settle into recessed details, around raised features, and across irregular surfaces. The result is a smooth, natural finish that makes decals appear painted directly onto the model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfectly Conforming Decals on Difficult Surfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMicro Sol is particularly useful when applying markings, insignia, and decorative details to uneven or heavily textured surfaces. By temporarily softening the decal film, it allows decals to follow intricate contours that would otherwise be difficult to cover without wrinkles or visible edges. For the best results, use Micro Sol together with Microscale Micro Set, which prepares the surface and improves decal adhesion before the softening treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrepare a clean surface and apply the decal using Micro Set. Once the decal is positioned and has settled sufficiently to prevent movement, apply a thin coat of Micro Sol with a small, soft brush, using as few strokes as possible. Leave the decal undisturbed while the solution softens the film and allows it to conform to the surface. Do not touch or reposition the decal during this process, as the softened film is extremely delicate and can tear easily. Allow it to dry completely before handling. A second application may be used if additional softening is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microscale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55190105555277,"sku":"MSC-MI-02","price":6.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/5401\/9802\/files\/MSC-MI-02.jpg?v=1793028873"},{"product_id":"microscale-micro-set-sol-bundle","title":"Micro Set \u0026 Sol Bundle","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMicroscale Micro Set \u0026amp; Sol Bundle\u003c\/strong\u003e combines two complementary decal solutions for applying waterslide decals to miniatures, scale models, and other painted surfaces.
