blackdog Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Has anyone ever had problems with airbrushing acrylic gloss lacquer over airfix decals . had a problem today with lacquer separating just on the decals whilst covering the previous coat of gloss perfectly . i am using water based stuff .might try a tiny spot of washing up liquid in next coat has any one got a cure for me please . i have very carefully rubbed down the bobbles with 1400 wet and dry and hope to rescue the job with the mat coat after weathering . any help very welcome . cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabat Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 How long had you left the decals to cure before overspraying? Did you use any setting solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancbuilder219 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Had a similar problem with some after market decals. I used Humbrol matt cote and it caused the decals to dissolve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I just use an ordinary supermarket spongy cloth, slightly damp. Maybe a touch of washing up liquid in the dampness, followed by just plain water dampness. Don't get things too wet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
