Decal setting solution
Decal setting solutions are made of diluted acetic acid- it looks and smells just like vinegar. Acetic acid is found in vinegar. so in other words....... instead of using decal setting solution, can i just use vinegar???? :?

Have you tried the Model Shop at Birkirkara? If they're not available there, you might need to order them from abroad. But that vinegar idea sounds interesting - I'd give it a try if I were you, see what happens ...

Model shop only have testors decal settign solution. its not at all strong. Yes i tried using vinegar. i doesnt really do anything. the decal doesnt crinkle or conform to the plastic textures. On the plastic & decals it gathers up in bubbles just like water on plastic.

Got another problem, I normally use 'decal SETTING solution' but i ran out so went to the model shop i 1 picked out from the usual rack, when i got home i realized it was 'decal SOLVENT solution'....... What is the difference? are they the same thing? :? :?
