Micro Set should be applied to the surface of the model where you will be sliding the decal off the paper backing. Micro Set prepares the surface with special wetting agents that cut the oils in new paint and converts the adhesive on the back of the decal to a stronger and longer lasting one. In addition, Micro Set slightly softens the decal film to make it more flexible so that it will conform better to the model's surface. Better adhesion of the decal to the model prevents tiny air bubbles from forming and results in an invisible carrier film for the so-called 'painted on look.' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eTo apply Micro Set: Use a soft flat artist's brush and apply Micro Set where you are going to apply the decal. Then slide the decal off the backing paper using a small pointed tip synthetic bristle brush to carefully position the decal in its proper position. Blot the decal carefully with a tissue or paper toweling, being careful not to disturb its position. Allow the decal to dry overnight. It will then be ready for a protective coat of Micro Coat Flat, Satin or Gloss.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLombard Hobbies - Your Valued Shop for over 40 Years!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microscale Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48319785238681,"sku":"MI1","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/8847\/0425\/files\/76823999727549_uytb__82542.1653517544.1280.1280.jpg?v=1784147021"},{"product_id":"microscale-inc-mi-7-micro-mask-liquid-masking-medium-1-oz-bottle","title":"Microscale Inc MI-7 Micro MASK Liquid Masking Medium  - 1 oz.

It is also an adhesive for mounting clear plastic parts, windows, etc. on models. It can be used to make lenses, both clear and colored, with the addition at a little food coloring. 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. This means that you do not have to mask around the clear parts, something that is difficult to achieve satisfactory results with. Moreover, the sills, which are painted, can be seen through the clear Micro Kristal Klear for the most realistic looking windows possible on a model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003eWhat the pros like best is that it works quickly and easily and stays clear.
