About product

AK interactive Decal Setter 18 ml, a decal setter

Decal Setter is a modeling aid for applying decals, not a kit. It is a solution in an 18 ml bottle that raises the adhesion of a decal to the surface of a model. Thanks to it the decal settles firmly, beds down onto the base with no air bubbles and forms no silvery rim, which otherwise often gives away a marking as something stuck on. The setter is applied with a brush, usually to the place where the decal is to go, or carefully over a decal that has already settled.

Setter or softener?

These two products are often confused, but they do different work. A setter deals with adhesion and settling: it prepares the surface, makes sure the decal is in contact with the base and drives the air out. A softener, by contrast, softens the carrier film itself, so that the decal sinks into engraved lines, rivets and irregularities and looks painted on. In practice they are used in order: the setter first, for settling, and only then the softener where the decal needs to be drawn into the relief.

Use

  • Apply it with a brush onto a gloss, well dried clear coat, because a matte surface favors bubbles.
  • Apply the solution to the place under the decal, slide the decal into position and press it down gently with a soft cloth or a cotton swab.
  • Draw off the excess solution and water from the center toward the edges, so that no air is left under the decal.
  • Let it dry completely without touching the decal; only then reach for a softener if needed.
  • Finally seal the completed markings with a coat of clear varnish, which unites the decal with the surface.

Who it is for

For modelers of all levels: on aircraft models with a great many technical markings a setter is practically indispensable, but it serves just as well on vehicles, ships and car models. The 18 ml bottle lasts for a great many applications.

Protect your eyes and skin, work in a well ventilated space and keep the product out of reach of children. Before use, follow the instructions and the safety markings given on the packaging.

FAQ

A setter deals with the adhesion and settling of a decal onto the surface and drives out air bubbles. A softener softens the carrier film so that the decal beds into engraved lines and irregularities and looks painted on. They are used in the order setter, then softener.

Best of all onto a smooth, gloss and completely dry clear coat. On a matte surface air stays under the decal and shows up as a silvery sheen.

As a rule yes, but with decals of many years standing, which may be brittle, proceed carefully and try the effect on a less visible piece first.
