the scopa decal paper that i bought at NBS was a bit too thick that's why i want to try this one

hmmm i only wonder dun sa link when the decal was soak with the logo in it how come the square borders doesn't exist but un decal sheet nya is square shaped but the resulting decal was already circular.... ganun ba un pagginamitan ng microsol it only leaves the treated areas whereas those that aren't are just dissolved??? can any1 shed sum light into this???

Siguro ganon nga. Since sinabi mong thick yung decal, maaaring nasoften ng Microsol yung unprinted part o kaya nalusaw na. Pero di rin ako sure, lalambot din kasi decal mo thus, madaling mapunit. O baka di gaano kita sa pic yung unprinted part?

If I recall correctly, JMN offers black decal sheets; going rate about P700.

I could be wrong, though.

3 for 700? I think that's expensive. Micromark sells decal paper for around $7 for 5 sheets of that size. That's less than 400 php.

Uhh.... make the decal softer and hence better adhesion to irregular areas such as Zims. They look much like painted on than a decal.

Hello Halo, new to the forums? Hindi naman nag-blot.... may layer of clear paint you will have to apply over the inkjet ink (parang redundant a) para hindi maging water soluble yung custom decal mo.

Hi Halo,

Applied decals are very hard to remove. Especially those that have settled snugly to the kit surface and sealed with clear top coat. Removing them will damage/tear the decals anyway.

If I may suggest, instead of recycling, you can either print your own decals, order afternarket decals, check your spares or maybe reorder the same decals from the kit manufacturer. I have requested decals many times from Hasegawa and they usualy send the decal within a month or two.

reorder them? how much would they ask for the cost of reordering them?
