The problem is that top coat of Tamiya Laquer is key as it will either stop me working on the decal, or if I decided to try to remove the decal using tape to pull it off - I think the laquer will stop it or at worst pull a larger area of paint and laquer with it. OC. I agree the top coat is key, it was fine until that was laid... TBH, I have NEVER ever seen anything like that, all the other stuff wrinkles, popcorn ceiling effect, bubbles, orange peel I have all seen and fixed, this one has me stumped... that looks like hippopotamus/elephant skin...... Well let me know how the second application of Decal set/sol works.... I have a suspicion that it will not work through the overcoat......

My suspicion is that I applied the top coat a bit too heavy on that side or perhaps it hadn't shrunk down as well due to the ridge it had to sit over, especially the end of the ridge causing an akward lump in the middle, possibly a bit of trapped air - that mde it an esy target for the top coat to loosen and craze the way it did.

Egilman Posted May 20, 2020 Share #605 Posted May 20, 2020 I don't think it was trapped air brother, that's what micro sol and a pin is for, and you would see it as soon as the decal is dry cause it wouldn't lay down, more like trapped water IMHO......

CDW Posted May 20, 2020 Share #607 Posted May 20, 2020 Just now, Old Collingwood said: My suspicion is that I applied the top coat a bit too heavy on that side OC. This Some decals don't like lacquer over top. But since it didn't give the other decals a problem, I suspect it's a matter of too heavy a coat. This is one of the limitations/difficulties of rattle can paint, a lack of flow control. Most of the time, decals will behave well to a light coat of clear lacquer, but a heavy coat will cause issues. It likely puddled here, which caused it.

I will try my best to see what the repair or part repair options are - wll see what micro sol does, then (as I assume a barrier is on the model now) I will try another flat coat over the top to see if that might help hide the wrinkles (failing that its a Good anti - wrinkle cream)😉 OC.
