roys Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Just want to apply decals ASAP and then give it a dust over with Games Workshop varnish. Have Klear/Xtracrylix Gloss/Microset/Sol and would prefer not to gloss all over. So what's the best way? Localised application of Klear or just Microset/Sol?

Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Soak your decals in Klear, then apply. That's a new one on me! Do you mean put them in Klear to release them from the backing paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 That's a new one on me! Do you mean put them in Klear to release them from the backing paper? Yup. I've used it a few times. Works a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yup. I've used it a few times. Works a treat. Interesting! I've used Klear as a decal fixative many times. But I've always soaked them in tepid water before. I must try your method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roys Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 No does not work! Now using water & microset/sol. Paint is smooth enough as it was airbushed onto primer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahut Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Something Ive done with satin finishes is to polish it. Using a T-shirt or fine poly material, I simply rubbed the flat or satin finish down to a sleeker surface. You might want to give that a try.

roys Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks dahut-I am trying to reduce unnecessary coats of "stuff" as it can ruin something that was OK previously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
