X-22 saved my life!

Well that's interesting ! I have some x-22 so I might try this trick if needed.
And I think I'll buy some Mr Mark Setter/Softer instead of MicroSet/Sol.

Scalemotorsport had a problem a while back with some of their sheets. I remember someone posting about it. I'm pretty sure that they replaced any defective sheets, but don't quote me for definite on that. I've used many of their carbon decals and never had that problem before, they are an excellent product. All I can say is that the affected sheets must have been a bad batch, which can happen when you produce the amount of carbon decals that they do...

I know its quite late to respond on this topic, however, it would be a great addition if you try to consider that instead of putting a whole car decals, would it be possible if you consider putting a vinyl decals with characters you like. This i think a good addition. Like photos i have here/
