  1. Thanks again for the advice. Had scanned the forums before posting and had read that Klear could be used to float decals on to help them settle and reduce silvering so thought Id raise the question. Ill stick with the micro set and sol. Ive been using them for a while on aircraft decals so am familiar with them. Sol bottle is 4/5 full,set bottle is only 1/3 due to the carefullly designed bottles... The cynical amongst us might think it a marketing ploy coz otherwise a bottle would last a lifetime....Im not that type of person though.Honest. Gonna start the kit in a wee while and Ill let you know how I get on. Dunno if Im brave enough to post photos but Ill post something here whichever way it goes. Dont have a printer or scanner so unable to copy and print if it all goes boobs up. The decals have dried with a ripple so dont know how good a copy Id get anyway. Thanks again for the advice.Fingers crossed and Ill keep you posted.
  2. Thanks for the advice.Ill try persevering with the decals and fingers crossed. Ill clear the workbench and put the kit to the top of the to do pile... Any hints on getting them off the sheet if they are reluctant to shift? Time and patience or is there a secret? Would Klear help or is that more used as an adhesive?
  3. I recently bought a revell formula 1 kit on ebay,but when the kit arrived it was wet. Kit parts are OK obviously but the decal sheet and instructions were very wet. I let the decals air dry and theyve gone wrinkly and started to peel away from the sheet in some spots. Because its a formula 1 car a lot of the decals are logos and merchandising and impossible to do by hand. Is there any way to make the decals usable? Coating with Klear or varnish before using perhaps? I dont have access to a printer so cant scan and reprint as Ive read some modellers can. Seller has been understanding and has offered a refund but if theres any way to use the decals Id rather keep the kit. He has given me permission to try one of the unused decals but I thought Id throw the question out to the experts on this forum. Thanks in advance for any help. Kenny
