    IPA over decals

    As usual, I applied decals over gloss varnish. Is it safe to use IPA over them, to remove fingerprints, before the final matt varnish?

    I don't know what varnish you used but I'd be very careful before applying something like IPA.

    Cheers

      A agree - ipa is great but can really eat into the varnish/paint.

      I would wipe the model with a damp cloth once the decals have thoroughly dried out.

      Are you applying a wash though? That would be usually be best over a gloss coat sealing the decals and before a matt coat.

        No wash. I will use a damp cloth. Thanks.
