Besecou Micro Scale Decal Kit — Micro Set 101 + Micro Sol 102, 1 fl oz Bottles for Seamless, Painted-On Decals

Besecou Micro Scale Decal Package combines Micro Set 101 and Micro Sol 102 to make decals sit flush and look painted-on. Besecou’s two-bottle kit provides modelers with a complementary pair of decal helpers: Micro Set 101 improves bond and surface contact while Micro Sol 102 softens and conforms decals to fine surface details. Each bottle contains 1 fluid ounce, making this pack ideal for hobbyists working on aircraft, armor, ships, trains and scale cars. These solutions are formulated to work together—apply the Set first to enhance adhesion, then Sol to relax the decal film for a seamless finish.

How do these solutions improve decal adhesion and realism?

Micro Set 101 increases the adhesive contact between decal film and the model surface so transfers are less likely to edge-lift or trap air. Micro Sol 102 then softens the decal, allowing it to conform to panel lines, rivets and textured paint without visible distortion. Used in sequence, they reduce the raised look that decals often have, producing a near-painted appearance.

• Micro Set 101 prepares the surface and boosts tack for stronger initial bond.
• Micro Sol 102 chemically relaxes the decal film for precise contouring.
• Combined use minimizes silvering and edge lifting on complex surfaces.
• Small 1 fl oz bottles are convenient for test areas and fine-detail work.

What’s the correct order and technique for applying Set and Sol?

Start by cleaning and, if needed, gloss-coating the model area. Apply Micro Set 101 to the surface or under the decal to improve adhesion, then position the decal and remove excess moisture carefully. After the decal has settled, brush Micro Sol 102 over the decal in light passes until it conforms—allow drying between applications for best control.

• Clean and gloss the surface before decal placement for uniform adhesion.
• Use Micro Set first to increase tack, then Micro Sol to shrink and conform film.
• Work in small sections and blot excess with a soft tissue to avoid shifting decals.
• Repeat light passes of Micro Sol on stubborn areas; let fully dry before sealing.

Are there precautions or compatibility tips I should know?

These solvent-based solutions work on most standard water-slide decals, but can affect delicate paint or aftermarket finishes. Test on a spare part or hidden area first. Avoid over-application—excessive use may soften surrounding paint or cause decal distortion—and ventilate the workspace to limit fumes.

• Test on scrap surfaces when using new paints or clear coats.
• Avoid prolonged skin contact and ensure good ventilation while using the fluids.
• Do not use on decals labeled as self-adhesive or on vinyl stickers designed for outdoor use.
• Seal decals with a compatible clear coat after full cure to protect the finish.

This Besecou Micro Scale pair is intended for hobbyists who want decals that look like paint rather than stickers. Whether you build aircraft, armor, ships, cars or trains, the two-step Set-and-Sol process helps decals sit into panel lines, weathering, and textured surfaces for a professional finish. Keep small bottles handy for touch-ups and test sections so you can dial in technique without risking completed models.

FAQ

Q: Can I use Micro Sol and Micro Set on all water-slide decals?

A: They work with most water-slide decals, but test on a scrap area first to confirm compatibility.

Q: Do I need to seal decals after using these solutions?

A: Yes—once fully dry, apply a compatible clear coat to protect the decal and finish.
