Tools for Decalling...

Tools for decals...

As i promised in yesterday's post.
Here are the "solution" i used in the steps...

These pictures i get from the internet.

Gunze Mr Mark Softer

Basically, i use this to make the decal "softer" so that it will set in the recess panel lines on the plane body. But have to be very careful, since the decal will be really soft, so have to be careful if you use brush to apply the FUTURE (see below) since it might drag the decal along with the brush stroke and believe me... you dont want that to happen... i know...

Gunze Mr Mark Setter

As the name said, this is to make the decal "bite" into theFuture surface that we applied prior to applying decals. When using this the surface will turn slight "whiteish" this is normal it will go away once you use Mr Softer and then the Future. It will go away.

Johnson "Future"

Ingenious way to use thos Floor finish product on models. Details of this product can be found in other place :o). But this is what i use as the surface finishing prior to applying decals and also as a mean to "seal" the decal on the surface. This can be applied with brush / airbrushed on.. but with the later i have less success with it, maybe i need to practise more.. :o)

that's a brief explaination... for more details, google is your friend....


enjoy..
