Re: Can you use "too much" Micro Set/Sol

Hey there. . .

It really depends on the quality of the decals you're workin' with. As you know some react differently than others and there's such a broad range in between, it's tough to get a handle on how much solvent to use at any given time . . .ugh. . .

What I've found that works fairly well for me is to limit the use of the solvents all together and go back to the manufacturers directions of using only water. Squeegee out as much water as I can then follow up lightly with the solvents if they give me a hard time . . .

If I have a really complex curve I'll use a diluted setting solution before applying the decal. Usually a brush full of water to a brush full of solvent then work as quickly as possible to get it to the proper position . . .

The diluted solvent gives you a bit more time to fuss with it . . .
