Micro
Set |
Micro Set is a very versatile decal setting solution that does
several things to the Microscale Decals to improve application.
Micro Set should be applied to the surface of the model where you
will be sliding off the decal. Micro Set prepares the surface with
special wetting agents that cuts the oils in new paint and
converts the adhesive on the back of the decal to a stronger and
more lasting one. And finally, Micro Set slightly softens the
decals film to make it more flexible so that it can conform better
to the model's surface. Better adhesion by the decal to the model
prevents tiny air bells from occurring and results in an invisible
carrier film or the so called 'painted on look'.

Micro
Sol |
Micro Sol setting solution is for the most difficult irregular
surfaces you find on models. It completely softens the Microscale
Decal allowing it to drape down onto the surface of the model
conforming perfectly and without distortion. You can get the most
amazing results in seemingly impossible places, because Micro Sol
actually makes the decal part of the paint. For that reason you
should coat Micro Sol on for only a few seconds and then leave it
alone, it does the work. Do not touch until dry as the decal is
very soft at this stage and could be easily damaged.

Micro
Coat. "Gloss", "Satin" or "Flat/Matt"
Finish.
|
Gloss,
Satin & Flat Varnishes
The Micro Coat finishes are more than just a pretty look.
This is one tough finish, and a real breakthrough in a modern
formulation of water reducible acrylic resin. For models that get
a lot of handling this is the answer. Even the Micro Coat Flat and
Micro Coat Satin continue to look like new after a great deal of
handling. One of the main reasons for the Micro Coat finishes is
that they are the ideal way to be sure that your Microscale Decals
perform up to their potential for realism. Micro Coat Clear gives
you a 'wet look' shine that replicates the new synthetic paint
used on the real thing. It is also the answer for a glossy base
necessary for decaling. All the Micro Coat Finishes use the same
water clear acrylic resin, which is tough and flexible and adheres
strongly to paint and plastic. It is rated to last at least twenty
years under ordinary conditions, for models this should be
forever.

Micro
Krystal Klear |
If there was ever a modellers secret, this is it. Micro Krystal
Klear can do so many things, you will not believe that any product
can make such a big difference in the appearance of your models.
First, Micro Krystal Klear is a liquid that can be used to form
very real looking small windows up to about 1/4" in size. It
is also an adhesive for mounting clear plastic parts, windows,
etc. on your models. it can be used to make lens both clear and
coloured with the addition of a little food colouring. What really
makes a remarkable difference in your models is the simple fact
that the clear parts can be joined to the painted parts with a
completely clear adhesive. What this means is that you do not have
to mask around the clear parts, something that is rarely
completely successful anyway. And the sills which are painted can
be seen through the clear Micro Krystal Klear for the most
realistic looking windows you will see on a model. And what the
pros like best, it is fast and easy and it stays clear. It
cleans-up with water while wet, and is waterproof when dry. You
can tell when it is dry because it turns from milky white to
clear. And if that were not enough, if you need a super strong and
flexible adhesive for wood, plastic, paper or most combinations of
dissimilar materials this is a handy thing to have. It's great
!
