Help needed with wrinkled decals

Post by BorgR3mc0 »

The stars are not properly aligned for my Mitsubishi MU-2 build. After the mishap with the liquid mask I am now having problems with the decals. Most are on. But I have one particular decal that is wrinkled. I have used both Micros Sol and Set bit the wrinkles are still there. So, does anyone have any advice for me? More Set?

I wouldn´t go with more Sol. How much time did the decal have to dry?

Try more Micro Set to refloat them and then smooth them out with a brush or sponge. Micro Sol will not allow you to work with them once it is applied.

A full 24 hours. And by now even more.

I will try refloating them with Set....
