In order to make your decal fix solution go further, water can be used instead to remove the transfers from the backing paper. Painting the decal fix on the kit and the decal after application will give the same result
I like these Humbrol tutorials - they are short and well detailed without a lot of long-winded explanations which, at times I find to be a bit confusing with regard to the process that is being explained.
Its worth noting that while decalfix softens the decal nicely, it also leaves a glossy finish when dry. I discovered this today after applying decalfix to my spitfire that was painted matt. I had to re-cover the whole model in matt varnish as the decalfix left glossy patches on and around the decals. I dont think ill use it again on matt finishes.
Ensure that Humbrol Gloss Cote is well stirred before using on your model. Humbrol Clear can be used directly through an airbrush without thinning or with a brush. Due to its nature, Humbrol Clear self-levels which is ideal for applying details. Humbrol Clear is a high gloss varnish that becomes glossier with every coat.
Comments were turned off on your tutorial about pledge clear so I will write here about it... can't get it on Amazon anymore but I found it on ebay. Now waiting for it to arrive. I bought Humbrol decal fix and was worried how to use it, so thankyou very much for this guide on what to do.
We would highly recommend testing Humbrol Decalfix with other manufactures paints before you apply it to your entire model. We are aware that Humbrol Decalfix can react with Tamiya paint.
"We are aware that Humbrol Decalfix can react with Tamiya paint." Damn, I know it's a ten years old video but I wish I'd known that before buying a bottle, should have checked for a tutorial before buying it I guess. For the last couple days I was wondering why the decalfix had immediately removed several coats of paint when I applied it on a kit painted with Tamiya... 😅 Too bad, it's seems like a nice product anyway, but it's back to warm water for me !
Thanks for the extremely helpful videos. I was wondering how much to dilute the Decalfix when using over Clear acrylic gloss varnish? Is it as effective diluted? Also, can Decalfix be returned to the bottle after soaking decals?
Oh it smells alright! I knocked over a bottle on my desk and it was stink :) but in normal use its not that bad at all. It works very well in my opinion.
Decalfix has similar property’s to varnishes. Try diluting Decalfix with water when you apply the decal, alternatively you could apply the decal on to a gloss surface, but again you will need to dilute Decalfix with water.
@@TomcatModelKits I seen you comment on the channel, but I didn't realize it was 4 years now haha, thanks for watching :) Actually if you check my most recent video you can see a very angry comment from a very disgruntled person on the word decal.
Hey! I am very very far from UK but i have a question (maybe more). I have been using Humbrol enamels and i bought the gloss cote. I use over a transparent windshield of a model and it went "dull" (opaque). After seeing the video on the clear i got the doubt: It seens to me that clear is very thin while the Gloss Cote is very thick. What kind of uses should i do for the 2? By the way there is no clear for sale on the distributor... Ebay worldwide i guess....
Hi..just an observation,when doing the decal on the gloss model you said add abit of water not to damage paint on model.....but as I watched you tip the brush straight into the jar and brush on the model first?......Confused!!!!!!
Because he wasn't using humbrol clear on the hawk as it was already a satin finish. He was simply telling you what to do if you were to use a gloss coat
Hi, I tried DecalFix for the first time and it looks really nice, however after drying the transparent door decals become yellow on a white enamel base. The decals were not yellow at all before applying, did I do something wrong?
I tried using Humbrol Decal Fix on a 1/16th Tiger 1 with zimmerit and it would not pull the decals into the contours, I ended up using Micro Set and Micro Sol, they worked perfectly.
@@luhenthomas Sorry, 3 years late. Decal fix does not work with Tamyia paints and causes the paint to peep, so annoyingly I recommend to use decal fix in humbrol paints only
What they don't mention is the stain Humbrol Decalfix leaves around the decal 2:30 - 2:45. I've found this happens no matter how much of the excess I wipe off. Anyone else have this occur? I've gone back to a coat of Klear ,then Microset/Microsol and then another coat of Klear or a satin/matt varnish as appropriate. More hassle but no stains.
Yes. It leaves a gloss finish to the model when it dries. I was worried it had ruined the matt finish on my spitfire but I saved it by coating the whole model in matt varnish once the decalfix was dry.
If i use the gloss cote over the whole model and then use decal fix does it come on smooth and dry down in panel lines? Does the decal fix make the decals matt or do i need to put matt cote over the decal?
if you using tamya paintsthe humbrol clear and decalfix will kind of react i have found it makes the paint go wet and run a little the more you play with it but when your done painting give the model a coat of gloss varnish not humbrol clear as the clear and the decal fix fave the same base i send to use valljo gloss then decal fix and don't use future or pledge floor wax same thing happens
Does the silvering thing only happen on surfaces painted with matt paint when using the old decalfix recipe and not on other paints like mettalic or gloss coated surfaces?
I already have models built and decals placed onto the models, i am looking for a way to stop the decals peeling off, would using decalfix assist with that, also the models are painted using the games workshop / citadel paints......
When i use humbrol decal fix i place it on with decal fix like u done in this video and when i remove the excess decal fix i leave it to dry. Then i come back to it and it has made some of the paint work into a shine as if it was a varnish. Why is this?
I think I am using the old Humbrol decal fix, the one with the purple stripe. I am having a problem where I am getting white residue on my kit. This is not silvering. Do you have any idea what could be causing it? Is it something you have encountered before?
I've been using Humbrol Clear and Decalfix together.. and they really don't play nicely together.. the Decalfix almost instantly starts to react with the Clear, making it tacky..which makes laying on of decals an absolute nightmare! Seriously it works nothing like is described in this video..
I agree. I´ve tried using Decalfix on one of my models and the liquid just wouldn´t be removed and now those areas are basiclly not good at all. I might just stick to water and then get some other set and sol product.
Synthetic Alloy yeah I've been chatting about this with some folks on a FB modelling group I'm a part of and several of them have noted the same thing. The problem is that both Humbrol Clear and Decalfix are Ammonia based, so they react with each other. I note this is mentioned almost in passing in this video (but not on the Humbrol website product page nor on the bottle!), and they recommend to water down the Decalfix when using with Humbrol Clear, but of course they give no dilution ratio!. So I gave it a try tonight with a 50/50 dilution with water.. I soaked the decals in the solution to release and applied to the Clear coated model, and it was MUCH MUCH easier! There wasn't the instant reaction and associated tackiness, and the decals did glide as in this video! More importantly the coated surface wasn't ruined! However, whether the decals draw down as well as they do with neat Decalfix remains to be seen.. they certainly havent wrinkled up as much as they did previously, but I'll leave overnight and see how they are in the morning!
Number1Ash 50/50 DF/Water dilution certainly made it easier to apply the decals and it didn't attack the Humbrol Clear surface. However it was a lot slower at "drawing in" the decals, after they'd been on a while I ended up gently coating with some Microsol I had kicking about, and that finished them off nicely. I tried a 75/25 DF/Water mix as well.. and that affected the clear almost as badly as when neat. Pretty poor when all said and done imo..
Actually, after using Clear and then after it dried I didn´t have the same problem with Decalfix as befor. Looks good and works perfectlly even when I didn´t dilut it.
help!!! It dried white on my model and no matter what i do there still is the white mark where the decal fix made contact, i've tried rubbing it with water but the white stain only disappears temporarily. Anyone know how to solve this? cheers.
Thinking that using warm water every time I applied decals to a current build, I reasoned that letting the decals soak for five minutes in cold water would be just as effective! As I later found out, I may well have diluted the adhesive on the decal away to almost nothingness! Decalfix for me ASAP :-)
5 minutes? 😮 I always soak them for 30 seconds max, otherwise they soften up too much and are at risk of tearing. I tore one in half today by over soaking it. Luckily I managed to salvage it.
I generally like to use Tamiya paints. However,I've heard conflicting reports that you can't use Decalfix over these paints as they're not compatible. Is this correct?
I used this for the first time and it turned the decals light yellow around the edges. Really disappointed as I can not repair the model and I had taken many months to build it, now as the decals are no longer available I can not improve the model because of this. I followed the instructions 100% too. I have been making Models for 30+ years and personally would stick to using the warm water method then clear coat over the model once decals are dry.
I did a Revell BMW M1 Procar a couple of weeks ago and the decals would not sit using the decalfix, I may have well used water as it did nothing at all and totally destroyed the build!! Im back on watching where I went wrong and if I cant find anything I am going to stop using Humbrol products as I have had nothing but issues with them, this, the clear and also the spray cans. Regards A very disappointed and soon to be a former Humbrol customer P.s. your videos are really good btw
Why does this instructional video not match the instructions on the bottle? I am hearing of many peoples decals including airfix ones being wrecked by following the instructions in this video. Surely they are called waterslide transfers for a reason?
My only issue with this product tho is that you need to vanish it after because iff you don’t it will leave an un real satin look around the decal which I just hate
+Koen Kemp after decals yeah you can put another varnish coat over the top to protect the decals and it also allows you to do panel washes and weathering.
This is just what I been looking for! Decal's other wise easily chip off thanks to the air being trapped inside. This solves that problem! Now I can work on my new models without applying clear varnish or fear it chipping off!
Republic thunderstreak Trown many of my old models out, just because of this problem. Worse part is, there is no company that sells loose decals! So you are forced to buy another set just to get those darned decals again!
SIG442 It is not necessary to dustbin old kits. Furthermore, they can be really useful testbeds to test with new modeling techniques (besides the fact that it is more humanitarian to restore them than getting rid of them- to be honest, I feel bad for those old kits that I cannot restore because they are too damaged or missing too many pieces). I myself have saved a number of old kits from scrap by providing them with a second and much better identity. For my next restoration on an old kit, I might try and apply what I learned from this video to the decals part, rather than "risking" a brand new kit. There are some companies that sell decals sheets, but I cannot recall their names now. In any case, it is a good idea to store spare and unneeded decals (and pieces) for other models. Regards.

Model Minutes hello :)
Was just about to ask this. Thanks!
Literally was thinking about this. Glad it's the case. I wasted so much decal fix xD
I like these Humbrol tutorials - they are short and well detailed without a lot of long-winded explanations which, at times I find to be a bit confusing with regard to the process that is being explained.
Decal fix and matt varnish are the two things that have been most useful for me so far in modelling, well worth the price :)
Its worth noting that while decalfix softens the decal nicely, it also leaves a glossy finish when dry. I discovered this today after applying decalfix to my spitfire that was painted matt. I had to re-cover the whole model in matt varnish as the decalfix left glossy patches on and around the decals. I dont think ill use it again on matt finishes.

You can, however test first before applying to your model.
Does this work with that what's in 28ml bottle?
Are these products available in the US?
