I'm attempting toput Verlinden's rank decals onto some figures and applying SolvaSet after. The problem I'm having is that after the Solvaset dries, the decals don't snuggle down to the figure.
Could it be that I'm applying the decals to folds in the figure's sleeve, my work area is too cold (a warmer area would make the decals adhere). I'm at a loss to figure this out.
Thanks in advance.
BTW each time I hear the word dilemma, I'm reminded of the Peanuts cartoon character Charlie Brown and his problems.

hmmm Not sure why it wouldn't work correctly. One careful thing to try is to tap the decal down with a new sharp pin. The pin will do two things, it will nuzzle down the decal into the creases and it will put small holes in th decal that will allow the solvaset to affect the entire decal and not be trapped on one side or the other.

Thanks for the tip, I would have never thought of using a pin. I'll give it a try today and hopefully it will do the trick!
Thanks
