Deluxe Materials Decal Sure-Set (50ml) BD86

Deluxe Materials Decal Sure-Set 50ml​


Deluxe Materials Decal Sure-Set is a decal setting solution designed to make applying waterslide decals to painted scale models easier and more accurate. Supplied in a 50ml bottle, it prepares the surface for decal application by creating a smooth liquid film that allows markings to slide into position before they are left to dry.

Accurate decal placement is important when working with small markings, lettering and detailed model surfaces. Decal Sure-Set provides a liquid layer between the decal and painted surface, allowing the marking to be adjusted during application rather than immediately settling into place.

The solution also improves decal adhesion and helps reduce silvering, the visible silvery appearance that can occur beneath decal film. This helps markings sit more naturally against the painted surface for a cleaner finished appearance.

Accurate Decal Positioning and Adhesion​


Decal Sure-Set is applied directly to the painted surface before positioning the decal. Its setting action supports accurate placement while helping the decal adhere to the model once the application has dried.

Key features include:

  • Creates a smooth liquid film for easier decal positioning.
  • Allows waterslide decals to slide and be adjusted during application.
  • Improves adhesion between the decal and painted surface.
  • Helps reduce silvering beneath decal film.
  • Prepares decals for subsequent treatment with Decal Soft-Set.
  • Supplied in a 50ml bottle.

How to Use Decal Sure-Set​


Decal Sure-Set is used during the initial positioning stage of decal application. Follow these steps when applying markings to a painted model:

  1. Apply the solution: Brush a thin layer of Decal Sure-Set onto the painted surface where the decal will be positioned.
  2. Prepare the decal: Soak the waterslide decal and carefully slide it onto the treated area.
  3. Adjust the position: Move the decal into its correct position while the liquid film allows adjustment.
  4. Remove excess liquid: Carefully blot away excess setting solution once the decal is correctly positioned.
  5. Allow to dry: Leave the decal to dry before applying Decal Soft-Set if further treatment is required.

Using Decal Sure-Set with Decal Soft-Set​


Decal Sure-Set forms the first stage of the Deluxe Materials decal application process. It helps position and secure the marking before the optional softening stage.

Once the decal has dried, Decal Soft-Set can be applied to help it conform to recessed panel lines, rivets and raised surface details. The two solutions perform different functions: Sure-Set supports positioning and adhesion, while Soft-Set helps the decal follow the contours of the model.

For accurate application, use a thin layer of Decal Sure-Set, adjust the decal while it can still slide freely, blot away excess liquid and allow it to dry before further treatment.
