[WWI] A question (maybe a silly one!)

[Michael Kendix]

Graham:

I've used Americal/Gryphon decals with great success. Getting them to lay 
down even over the most difficult shaped surfaces has never been a problem 
for me.

It would help if you could remind me of which decals these are. Before using 
the decals, I recommend a couple of coats of Future (Kleer) that can be 
brushed on. Then let that cure for a couple of days. I find the Microsol - 
Microset combination to be good and also, for especially complex surfaces, 
Solvaset.  Solvaset is very strong but good on Americal/Gryphon decals. 
Solvaset will actually "melt" the decal so don't use too much and whatever 
you do, do not touch the decal once the Solvaset has been applied - leave 
the room for a cup of tea or something until it is dry.
