Tamiya Decal Adhesive

[Ranson52]

Wondering if anyone has used this product, and have opinions on it.
I use the Micro Sol products, but was thinking a one step rather than two step process would be easier and quicker.

Any thoughts ?

[Ranson52]

Bump.... See lots of people have viewed this, but really am looking for an opinion, if someone can share.

I've yet to see Mark Fit or the adhesive on a shelf in the States, and as far as I can tell it's probably an import-only situation for availability here. Some shops may have some, but most won't. I can't speak for the rest of the world, but if that's the case then I suspect this might be true elsewhere as well.

Meaning maybe most won't have tried it because MicroSol/Set and Solvaset is in every store and readily available.

Someone will have used it, so far only 42 pairs of eyes have seen this.

I have some , but have never used it. Still using micro products. So cannot help just yet.

[Ranson52]

Thanks digger, if you do decide to try it, could you post results, would be appreciated.

Hey digger. I see you are in WA.
So am I.
I'm in Bunbury, just wondering where you might be.

Mullewa, My son works for Hyundai car dealer ship in Bunbury though.

And In case you don't know where Mullewa is. It's wild flower country 450km north of Perth 100km east of Geraldton.

Ok I might open the bottle with the next build and see how it turns out. Must admit though I might have to check the web for pointers first just in case.

I have just purchased some microset and microsol as I have never used decal setting products before.

I used the Mark Fit instead of Miro Sol/Set for my F-16 build and found it similar in performance. I think the Decal Adhesive is for decals that are lifting off after they had been applied.

I'll let you know how I get on with it in a week or two

That would great thanks Lysus

[digger303]

sorry I haven't been building much, but I didn't forget. But in a few days I will be applying decals I hope. Then you will have two opinions.

[Ranson52]

That would be very much appreciated.
Thank you

this is what Tamiya says,
★Use this handy solution to apply decals which have been left too long in water and lost their adhesion. ★Simply apply to the surface of the model, and use water to remove any excess adhesive. ★Features handy brush on reverse side of cap for application. 10ml bottle.

More of an emergency fix rather than a go to for every model

[Ranson52]

That sounds like a very good summary.
I use the two Micro products, but have a bottle of the Tamiya.
Maybe I'll just carry on using the Micro stuff, unless I get into that situation.

be great for old kits I think. I believe Microscale do a different product for old decals.....microscale liquid decal repair solution
