Dave Klaatu Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I've come across a lot of problems before, but not this one. I have a Dragon/DML aircraft kit, was sealed inside and out. Decals look good. Problem is, they simply WILL NOT release from the paper backing! Will I have to scrap them, and buy some after market replacements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Klaatu Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Found the answer! From an old post from another forum, from a modeler no longer around- Use almost hot water, squeeze the middle to get the gelatin like adhesive to start breaking from the paper. Give it 30 seconds more in the almost hot water, and bingo! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Yes warm water if definitely the way to go along with a new paintbrush and patience. Glad it worked out for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
