I printed them off and let them dry for an hour or so.Then whilst they were still on the sheet brushed the Microscale Liquid Decal film onto them to seal the inks (the Microscale drys with no brush marks at all) Then I left this to dry for an hour (it says 15 mins on the bottle but I wanted to be sure) Then cut the decals out,but not too close to the design,if you break the sealer when you put them into the water the ink will run.You can then apply them like a normal decal,although as I said earlier they are not as tough and can't be rough handled as much.If you treat them gently though they are fine and perfectly usable.The ones above I didn't use any Microsol or Microset setting solutions on them as they conformed easily on the lid of the aerosol i used as a background.I don't see why you couldn't use the setting solutions on them though,they should be fine with them.Maybe try a spare one first to be sure though.
