Greg Law Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Has anyone got a tip on how to apply the 1/48 small individual instrument decals. I have been trying to do it today, but they keep sticking to whatever I'm using to place them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 How about wetting the instrument panel with setting solution first? HTH, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Tried that, but the decal kept sticking to the tweezers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I use a wet small flat paintbrush to apply all small decals. If the decal wants to stay on the brush hairs I use a 'scraping off' move. Usually works on decals not cooperating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Agreed, I never use tweezers on decals. At the most I persuade some of the more stubborn ones to let go of the backing paper with some gentle prodding with the tip of a hobby knife, followed by the paint brush technique as described by Black Knight above.
