Just me, but I have never had an issue using it on any decals that I use.

It's the only thing I've used or recommended! It is strong but Walthers was the first aftermarket hobby decal maker in the US.....started in 1932! Use it very lightly...easy to add more....can't take it off!!! I've had it ruin one decal in 40 years.....a OLD Microscale super thin...and I just used too much.

Dave,
I've noticed with MicroSol/MicroSet it usually takes more than one application to get the decals to settle down properly. This isn't a criticism of their product, just the way I've always had to do it.
Perhaps I'll have to give the Walther's a try?
Thanks for the tips and advice!
Scott (Vin)
