ScottsGT Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Well that was a bust. First side I tried it in one piece. Not only did it wind up with many wrinkles, but when I went to do the other side they didn’t even come close to matching up on the bottom of the cowl. As I was applying side one I was telling myself I could have probably done a better job just painting these on after cutting out Tamiya tape as a stencil. Guess which route I’m taking now? Besides, I did some paint touch up yesterday and 24 hours later the lacquer bubbled with hundreds of tiny bubbles in that area. Not sure if it was the Micro Set/Sol it the Tamiya decal adhesive with softener in it. But I do need to sand them out now. 1 4
BlrwestSiR Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago That's a bit annoying there Scott. More so with the paint reaction too. I've never of clear lacquer reacting to decal solutions and I've even used Tamiya X-20A as one without paint issues. Let us know if you figure out more. 3
