Scalecoat ProSet Decal Setting Solution – 2 oz Bottle with Brush Applicator – 39571

Scalecoat ProSet Decal Setting Solutionis a professional-strength formula designed to help waterslide decals soften, settle, and conform over rivets, seams, panel lines, and other fine surface detail. Ideal for model trains, locomotives, freight cars, aircraft, armor, automotive models, and other scale modeling projects, this high-performance decal solution helps create a smooth, painted-on appearance.

Scalecoat ProSet is formulated for modelers who need stronger decal setting action for difficult decals, thicker decal films, and detailed surfaces. The built-inbrush applicator capmakes it easy to apply the solution exactly where needed for precise decal work on scale models and model railroad equipment.

Use full strength for stubborn decals and maximum softening action. For more delicate decals or lighter applications, ProSet may be diluted with distilled water as desired. A starting ratio of approximately1 part water to 3 parts solutionprovides a milder working strength for more sensitive decal applications.

When applied after the decal is positioned and excess moisture has been removed, Scalecoat ProSet helps the decal conform to rivets, seams, recessed panel lines, and other surface details for a more realistic finish. In some applications, it may also assist in loosening certain factory pad-printed lettering, though results will vary depending on ink and paint type.

Features

• Professional-strength decal setting solution
• Helps waterslide decals conform to rivets, seams, and panel lines
• Great for model trains, aircraft, armor, automotive, and scale models
• Brush applicator cap for precise placement
• Can be diluted with distilled water for milder action
• Useful for difficult decals and thicker decal films

Directions

Position decal using water and gently remove excess moisture. Once the decal is properly positioned and mostly dry, apply a small amount of ProSet over the decal and allow it to soften and conform to surface detail. Do not touch the decal while it is softening. Allow to dry completely before additional handling.

Note:Test first on scrap decals or a small hidden area before full use, especially on delicate decals, custom decals, digital decals, pad printing, or sensitive painted finishes.

For hobby and scale model use only.

Decal Setting Solution FAQ

What does a decal setting solution do?
A decal setting solution softens waterslide decals so they conform to surface details such as rivets, panel lines, and seams, creating a realistic painted-on appearance.

Can this be used on model trains and scale models?
Yes. Scalecoat Decal Setting Solution works on model trains, aircraft, armor, ships, vehicles, and other scale models using waterslide decals.

Will this help decals conform to rivets and panel lines?
Yes. The solution softens decal film so markings settle into recessed details and raised rivets for a smooth finish.

Does this reduce decal silvering?
Using a decal setting solution improves adhesion and helps eliminate air trapped under decals, reducing the chance of silvering.

Decal Setting Solution Comparison

What is a strong decal setting solution?
Strong decal setting solutions are designed to soften decal film so it conforms to rivets, panel lines, and surface details. These solutions help decals settle smoothly and reduce silvering on detailed scale models.

Is Scalecoat Decal Setting Solution suitable for detailed models?
Yes. Scalecoat Decal Setting Solution is designed for detailed surfaces commonly found on model trains, aircraft, armor, ships, and other scale models where decals must conform to fine surface detail.
