Besecou Micro Scale Decal Setting Kit — Micro Set 101 + Micro Sol 102, 1 fl oz Bottles, Smooths & Bonds Decals

Besecou Micro Scale Micro Sol 102 + Micro Set 101 is a two-bottle decal kit that makes water-slide decals lay flush and bond reliably to painted model surfaces.

This pair combines a setting solution (Micro Sol 102) that softens decals so they conform to panel lines and texture, with an adhesive enhancer (Micro Set 101) that improves decal contact and reduces lifting. Each bottle contains 1 fluid ounce, enough for multiple small-to-medium modeling projects. Together they help decals appear painted-on while reducing silvering and edge gaps when applied correctly.

How do these solutions work together to improve decal results?

Micro Set 101 prepares the surface and increases adhesive grip while Micro Sol 102 softens the decal film so it conforms to irregularities. Using Set first improves initial tack; Sol follows to drape and lock the decal into place for a seamless finish. When used in sequence they minimize trapped air and visible edges.

• Apply Micro Set to the model area to enhance decal adhesion and reduce slippage.
• Place the decal in position, remove excess water, then brush Micro Sol over the decal to soften it.
• Micro Sol causes the decal to settle into panel lines and surface details for a painted look.
• Allow time to dry fully before sealing with a clear coat for long-term protection.

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

Start with a clean, glossy surface and use Micro Set first to improve decal contact. After sliding the decal into place and removing water, apply Micro Sol sparingly with a soft brush; it will wrinkle briefly as it relaxes, then smooths out. Patience and small, controlled amounts produce the best results.

• Trim decals close to the artwork to limit excess film.
• Dry the applied decal area gently before using Micro Sol to avoid shifting.
• Work in thin layers—multiple light applications beat one heavy coat.
• Use tweezers and a soft brush for precise placement and smoothing.

Will these products damage painted finishes or fine details?

When used as directed on fully cured paint and sealed gloss coats, Micro Set and Micro Sol are formulated to avoid lifting paint or harming detail. However, they are strong solvents and should be tested on a hidden area if you are unsure about paint compatibility. Avoid applying them to delicate or uncured surfaces.

• Ensure paint is fully cured and gloss-sealed for optimal protection.
• Test on a scrap piece or hidden spot before full application.
• Keep ventilation and use brush control to limit solvent flow onto vulnerable areas.
• If paint softens, stop and allow complete drying before proceeding.

Who is this for: Modelers and hobbyists who want decals to look like part of their paintwork—railroaders, aircraft, armour and scale vehicle builders will find this set valuable. It’s ideal for anyone aiming for crisp, conforming decals over rivets, panel lines, and textured surfaces. Because both bottles are 1 fluid ounce, the kit suits small projects and trial runs; professionals who apply decals frequently may prefer larger sizes but will still benefit from keeping this kit for precision work.
