Steam Decals

[NW Modeling List]

This is good to know. That product flew under my radar. I (and others) have successfully used Testors GlossKote in essentially the same way to rescue old decals.

Thanks,

> Microscale makes Liquid Decal Film #MI-12.  I use it on every Microscale decal, even new ones because you don't know how long they have been in someone's stock.  It works like this:  Using a fine brush, brush it across only the area you intend to cut out of the sheet. It looks scary at first because you see what looks like a thick blob on the decal.  Pull the brush across the decal one time only. In a minute or two the solvent evaporates and dries completely smooth and flat. I have used it on decals several years old.  Its use is not limited to Microscale decals.  There is a complete explanation on Microscale's website.  Their N&W steam set is in inventory as well.  I don't know of any other manufacturer making N&W steam decals at this time.
