Decal Softener & Set Bundle VMS
In stock
This classic solution includes two separate fluids that will get the job done for you in the proven way. Fantastic adhesion achieved with proprietary adhesive formulation thanks to the Set & Fix fluid and conformity to model shape thanks to the Softener fluid.
Use: Apply the Set & Fix fluid over target area and then apply the decal. Squeeze excessive fluid out and wipe it away with a brush soaked with water. To mould the decal apply VMS Decal Softener over the decal and wait 1-3 minutes. The decal will soften and adjust to the surface of the model. You can use a cotton bud to help the decal conform to the surface, perform gentle tapping motion. Do not get the softening fluid on the paint job as it can dissolve the paint (true for any softening fluid brand). If the paint reacts with the softener simply introduce a bit of water to neutralise the softener and leave the paint be, it will revert to its original state. After 24h seal the decal using VMS Varnish HD. Due to the multitude of decals on the market and varying thickness of carrier films always check if the softener is compatible on a spare decal first!
Combine with: Decals

Having used some previous VMS products I thought I’d take a chance of these as Microsol/Set and Humbrol Decalcote weren’t doing the job. The Set & Fix feels viscous to the touch and, after removing any excess, seems to pull the decal onto the surface with no silvering apparent. The softener, having been liberally applied to stubborn decals, seemed to react with the Future clear coat, leaving a change in colour, but after removing the excess this happily disappeared when dry. The softener dealt with some tricky propeller spiral decals with a couple of coats and some gentle help with a cotton bud, conforming beautifully to the nose cones. Highly recommended.

The softener is a very good paint remover. On application I noticed the colours in a decal start to bleed into each other and then as I tried to wipe away the excess the surrounding paint started to dissolve. Certainly not the result I expected when used on normal (Mission and AK) acrylic paints.
