can i also add that if you use the microsol directly onto the car body b4 you lay the decal then it will conform to even tighter angles, i have used this a few times on larger sheets. hoods are still so difficult to do without a wrinkle.

I think it's be good if people would add pictures and state the type and brand of decal they've used because each brand has different colouring and types which can be confusing to get the right one.

after cutting the tape mask, did you stick it right down onto the carbon decal? i thought that when you would try to pull it back off it would rip or mess it up?

If you're uncomfortable with sticking tape onto your expensive decals, simply take the extra step of transferring the tape pattern to plain paper, cut out the paper, then use the paper pattern as your guide for cutting the decal sheet. you may still want to secure the paper pattern to the decal sheet in at least one inconspicuous point, so the pattern can't move once you've started. edit: That's what Bill said, too: Quote:

Re: How To: Working With Carbon Composite Decals
there must be an alternative solution to micro sol?
I cant find it where i live!! can anything else be used instead like, methelated spirits, mineral turpentine ect?? since i cant find microsol i might not be able to complete my model! |

Re: How To: Working With Carbon Composite Decals
Definitely not turpentine. There is probably some household alternative if you knew the formulation. I always wondered if vinegar would work in place of Microset. Never felt the need to try personaly.

Re: How To: Working With Carbon Composite Decals
I notice from your proifile Emilmh that you're from Australia. I know there are others on this forum from Australia, so maybe they'll let you know where to get some.
