Tamiya Decal Adhesive

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
