Micro Set 101 primes the model surface and activates the decal adhesive for better stick and fewer bubbles, while Micro Sol 102 aggressively softens decal film so markings drape over rivets, panel lines, and textured surfaces without distortion. Used together they reduce lifting, eliminate carrier film appearance, and lock graphics into place ahead of a protective clearcoat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these solutions improve decal adhesion?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicro Set 101 contains wetting agents that remove residual oils and enhance contact between the decal adhesive and the painted surface. When applied where the decal will sit, it helps the decal bond strongly and reduces trapped air pockets for a smoother finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePrepares surface by cutting oils and improving wetting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConverts decal backing adhesive to a stronger bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces micro-bubbles and lifts for an invisible carrier film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I use Micro Sol 102 versus Micro Set 101?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicro Set 101 is used first to condition and tack the surface, making placement and initial adhesion easier. Micro Sol 102 is applied when decals must conform to irregular or highly detailed areas — it softens the decal film so it collapses into recesses and over raised detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply Micro Set before sliding the decal off its paper backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse Micro Sol briefly after positioning to drape decals into contours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not overwork softened decals; allow them to dry undisturbed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the correct technique to get professional results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWork with a soft flat artist brush and a clean workspace. Brush Micro Set onto the model where the decal will sit, slide the decal into position with a fine-tipped brush, blot excess moisture gently, then apply Micro Sol sparingly to stubborn areas and let it dry overnight before sealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse a soft flat brush for Micro Set application\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePosition decals with a pointed synthetic brush, then blot with tissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply Micro Sol briefly and avoid touching the decal while drying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I finish and protect decals after setting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce decals are dry and fully conformed, protect them with a clearcoat to lock in the finish and prevent future lifting. Choose flat, satin, or gloss topcoats depending on the model’s final sheen and compatibility with your paints and adhesives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllow decals to dry overnight before clearcoating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse Micro Coat flat, satin, or gloss as the protective topcoat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure surface is free of dust or debris before sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: Modelers building aircraft, military vehicles, ships, trains, or automotive kits who want decals to look painted-on will benefit from this two-step system. It’s ideal for hobbyists who work with fine detail, textured surfaces, or irregular contours and need reliable adhesion without distortion. Beginners can achieve professional results by following the step-by-step technique, while experienced builders will appreciate how Micro Set 101 and Micro Sol 102 expand decal possibilities on complex builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use Micro Set and Micro Sol on any paint finish?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — they work on most cured model paints, but ensure paint is fully dry and free of surface contaminants before applying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How long should I wait before clearcoating after using Micro Sol?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Allow decals to dry undisturbed overnight; then apply your chosen clearcoat (flat, satin, or gloss).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Besecou","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48086811836574,"sku":"B01LXZ03W9","price":31.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/besecou-front-packaging-micro-set-micro-sol.jpg?v=1785906153","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/decal-setting-solution-micro-scale-micro-sol-102-micro","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
