Detail Mr. Mark Setter is a decal adhesive.Use it to attach decals firmly to painted surfaces.It is particularly effective when used on old decals that have lost their adhesion or decals that do not have strong adhesion.It also contains ingredients that soften decals. Apply a small amount to the location where you want to attach the decal, and then place the decal on top of it. The adhesive will bond the decal to the painted surface, making it difficult to peel off even after drying.The decal will be softened rapidly by the softening solvent, so if too much is applied, the decal itself may dissolve or the painted surface may be eroded.Applying it on top of the attached decal will have some effect, but basically you should apply it under the decal. This product is water-soluble. Adding water appropriately will dilute the effect of the solvent and prevent rapid softening. Depending on the type of decal and the surface to be painted, it may be a good idea to dilute it with water before use. After applying the decal, lightly press the decal with a lightly dampened Mr. Cotton Swab, Mr. Clean Stick 2, or a dust-free cloth to ensure that the decal adheres firmly to the surface of the part. At this time, wipe off any excess Mr. Mark Setter to prevent it from softening too much. Using a damp cotton swab will neutralize the Mark Setter and prevent it from becoming too soft with the solvent. If the decal is hard and does not soften easily, apply a small amount of MS231 Mr. Mark Softer onto the decal and let it soak in. Be careful not to apply too much. If air bubbles get between the decal and the part (silvering), carefully make a hole in the decal using a needle or craft knife after the decal has dried. Then, by applying Mr. Mark Softer again, the decal will soften again, the air bubbles will disappear, and the decal will adhere firmly to the surface of the part. One way to prevent silvering is to finish the base to which the decal will be attached with a glossy surface. The main agent used in the previous product has been changed to an environmentally friendly one and redesigned. The changes made due to the change are as follows. ・The adhesive has been changed from an emulsion resin adhesive to an acrylic resin adhesive. The adhesive performance is improved compared to the previous one. Even if you apply the decal and then coat it with gloss clear and then mask it, the decal is less likely to be taken away by the masking tape. ・The softening performance is stronger than before. ・It has more dissolving power for water-based hobby colors than the previous one. This is especially noticeable when the drying time is short, so please dry it well and avoid applying a large amount. If you use it, it is best to dilute Mark Softer with water to reduce its dissolving power before use. Although this will depend on factors such as the drying time of the coating, the amount used, and how it is wiped off, a dilution of approximately 30% is a good guideline.
