Scale Model Tips - Testing 10 Different Waterslide Decal Solutions - Is There A Clear Winner ??
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ม.ค. 2021
- Here I test 10 different waterslide decal solutions, 9 brands and 1 homemade. I also test using only 1 step of 2 step systems to see if it's worth buying them in a set. Then I coat them in gloss and matt clears. In my opinion there's a winner and a very close 2nd place. Sorry for it being such a long video but it was needed to fully test each one of these.

Okay...this is the ONLY decal setter video you ever need to watch. Perfection!
Thank you my friend
This video is worth 1 million views.
Thank you my friend
I’m 73, been using Micro Set/Sol successfully for decades. Must give Timaya now. Thanks for great video!
Holy crap! Over an hour?! ...EDITED!! Wow, thank you so much for taking so much time to set up and run such a great test! You, Sir, are a legend.
Thanks, I wanted to test each one and show them going on the decal and not just say this is Tamiya and this is Testors. I felt I had to show the actual application for a fair test. Thanks for watching. New video over the weekend, see you then 👍
Instablaster...
Your time and financial sacrifice is so appreciated to us modelers. Thank you so much
Barbatos, I will never stop saying to myself “wow! He makes great videos!” Even though they’re so long of length. They don’t feel too choppy becasue you omit music, special effects, on-screen graphics, etc. which makes the video so much more digestible. I feel that your videos are the best because of this, the over-the-top pop or electronic music in most vids about these do not make understanding the topic easier. Yes, it may work for a model building/painting timelapse, but they don’t work for tool reviews or the higher precision things like paints. They are highly informative and actually make the hobby fun. It makes it easier to explore new techniques and tons of paints!
Wow, thank you my friend for these kind words. When I decided on making these videos I knew I wanted to go without the flash and music. It's all about the paint and tools. Thank you for being a subscriber, you guys are the best
@@barbatosrex9473 you are so welcome man!
GSI Creos strikes again with an excellent product. Was looking for reviews on decal solutions and when your video popped up I knew it would be the only one I needed to watch. Just ordered a pair of the Mr. Mark solutions.
I've got the Microset and Sol and I'm pretty happy with them, but when they're empty I'm gonna go with the Mr Hobby too.
@@Faxie83 I know a bunch of people that use Micro Set and Micro Sol.
Hats off to you sir! You’re doing the lords work. You’ve done my dream tests but with infinitely more patience and skill!! Incredible video.
If you want a comprehensive run down on anything to do with scale modelling, you really are the guy to go to!
Appreciate all the hard work! 👍👍
Thanks for these product reviews. You are the Consumer Reports for scale modelers.

I'm trying modeling again after 40 plus years. Things have come along way since the 70's! You videos have been stellar! I'm still gathering tools and materials to try my new first kit. Thanks very much!
Thanks buddy, welcome back
@@barbatosrex9473 also, l just scored the $40 airbrush kit you had s video on. 👍
@@joelynch1059 Awesome 👍
Glad this popped up in my videos. Been wanting to try other solutions.
I found a bottle of Tamiya mark fit super strong and it works like a charm
i bought the mr. hobby products just because the tamiya brand (which i prefer for paints, supplies, kits, and tools) is impossible to find online. i haven't used it on anything yet but i'm glad to see that in a fair shootout, it was the clear winner. great how that works out. the bottle of mr mark softer has a warning label about the staining. thank you for the in-depth video. every reviewer on youtube should do their videos this way. btw, i took a shot every time you mispronounced tamiya and "aluminum." i am now dead.
Like always your analysis and test are priceless. Thanks for your time and this very useful videos.
These videos are absolutely invaluable! Your hard work is very much appreciated. I've been using the decal tray for a couple of years and I love it. Its so handy. I found it was quite light as well so I glued it to a heavier base which makes it a lot more stable.
thank you so much for taking the time to do this and for being so thorough!
Thank you for taking the time to create this video, unreal amount of work 👍
Very good video as always. I applaud your efforts in all your videos. I know it’s a ton of work filming and editing all of it. Your an MVP in our modeling community. Thanks for sharing.
Wow - what a great comparison. Thank you for such a thorough and involved effort - much appreciated.
Awesome video! Finally someone was able to show me and differentiate the different kinds of decal solutions being sold in the market nowadays! Thanks! Now I know which product to purchase! I have been watching all your videos and learning a lot of things from you. Please keep up the good job!
Great set of testing videos, much appreciated.
Again, I always seem to find your videos of subject matter just before I start to do them! This was fantastic, thanks for all the tests you perform, it truly helps a lot, especially for people like me who are rather new to this sort of thing.
Another old favorite is Walther's Solvaset. It's strong.
Thanks man, great work, very helpful.
This was a great video as always.Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Awesome video! Very helpful and informative. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into the videos.
Thanks 👍
Very helpful. Bought the Mr. Mark Setter/Softer today.
You won't be disappointed 👍
Awesome video. Thanks for the time to test and share it! 🙌🏻👍🏻🤘🏻
Totally worth every sec. of your time !
This is really an outstanding video. Many thanks for your efforts!
Didn't even think about decals thank you for such a great tutorial and vid
Thanks for the comparison. Tests are very helpful. Thank you.
I have been using Mr. Mark Setter and Softer on my models for a long time and the result is spectacular.
Perfect, great Videos! Thanks!!
Great video i'm glad i bought the Mr. Mark Setter. Your video's are great and i highly recommend them for someone like myself just getting into the hobby.
Really helpful thanks a lot for this. I just picked up mr mark so will give it a go, been struggling with Microsol to get a consistent finish
Your video was incredibly helpful! Thank you
I'm essentially brand-new to the world of doing-more-than-out-of-the-box and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your efforts.
Been watching your videos for about a month and wanted to thank you for such great and informative info. Searching for products is difficult when you dont know what you're looking for. Also for anyone having a hard time getting the decal positioning tool, its just a clay modeling tool.
Great test.well worth the watching😊
Thank you so much for this comprehensive video. It's great! I found you a few months ago looking for info on cleaning Gunpla with an Ultrasonic. Big fan of the way you present product.
Wow thanks just what i needed!!
Thank you again Tamiya looks good.
great test ordered the Mr. and the Vallejo thanks
Thanks for watching, took awhile to get this filmed. Love the Mr Mark results
appreciate the time you put into these comparison videos one hell of a lot of work when they are over an hour edited
Just got into gunpla and airbrushing. Your channel is a goldmine. So much information and product demonstrations. Everything is super helpful! Thank you!
Fantastic review! Thank you for doing this!
Thanks for watching 👍
As usual a really good review and test, I have now just gone and bought Mr Mark Setter and Softener. Thanks again from 🇬🇧 look forward to more reviews.
I started modeling a few weeks ago and you videos have been so useful and full of vital information in achieving the best outcome possible. Thank you for taking the time to make such thorough demonstrations of products and techniques!
Another thorough, informative video. Great work, thanks for the detail.
Thanks for watching buddy
Nice vid!! :O the comparison are great!! thank you!! I know what product should I buy.
Great job! I have been looking forward to this video. You have confirmed what several other's videos had in there findings. Take care and keep up the good work.
Thanks buddy, have a great day 👍
I'm really impressed how much work you put in your videos. Realy appreciate your testing videos.
Thank you 👍
Excellent Sir! Thank you
Ty you so much for this video,will buy the right stuff,excellent video
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks much. New at this stuff and looking to order some decal stuff. This was very helpful, and the length of video was fine. This much testing takes a longer video to see it all, and how it all works.
at the end you are the great teacher..
Awesome video. I'm going to try the Tamiya mark fit strong. Been a Micro scale fan for years but this test looks like there are better ones on the market.
I watch all your videos, they are great! For someone like me, new to airbrushing, having been away from RC and modells for a long time...(and as I have chronic pain, I get my pension...so not too much to spend on hobbies...for me quality of life improvers really) it is so great watching you videos and get a better idea of where to spend what I have to spend. Not to mention how to use the things I do buy. I'd like to thank you, really, I appreciate it a lot!
Good work, thanks!
Extremely helpful, thank yiu
You're welcome buddy 👍
I've run-into some old decals which required simmering water, to release. Adding a drop of dish washing detergent makes the decal less "sticky".Thanks for the research!
I remember trying waterside decals as a kid and man was it a bad time lol so much so that 30 years later I'm using the dry transfer and sticker decals for my gunpla and nervous to try waterslide even though I know they look better in the end. But watching your videos might give me enough confidence to try them out again
Awesome test
Great comparison video, very informative and helpful, thanks 😀
Thank you 👍
Thanks for the comparison. I use Tamiya Strong, but will order the Bundle set of Mr Hobby green and blue after watching your video. I use Tamiya Strong with Tamiya thick decals mainly. Would have been nice to try with famously difficult decals like Academy old decals, not the newer ones made by cartograh. Tamiya thicker ones, Heller kits, etc. But thanks for savings us money by picking the best and the cheap stuff that works fine. You are the scale modeling Consumer Report 😃
thank you. i'm having a hard time trying to figure out which one to use. now, i know.
Great review, thank you. Mr. Mark set on order!
well how is it going? Mr Hobby change the model of mark softer and setter to round bottle and it is pretty bad for me
Great stuff! I subscribed. Appreciate the work you do. Thanks.
Thanks for the sub. Have a great day
Excellent presentation & very pertinant & practical. Have you ever thought about using a bottle warmer for maintaining good access to warm water? I appreciate your hard work and thank you.
I use a little drink warmer on the lowest setting to keep my water warm. It does a great job to ensure waterslides quickly release over my entire session.
Hi excellent teaching sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, ps I would have watched another hour !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Respect Tom from England 🇬🇧,
Thank you Tom, much appreciated
My personal favorite decal solution has always been Walther's Solvaset. It is a bit on the powerful side but, it really does settle decals down to looking like paint! Care has to be taken when using it on very old 20 - 30 year old decals though.
OMG ! AMAZING MY FRIEND ! what a knowledge thank you for this video you are awesome !
Great video, thanks for sharing!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent work. I’ve just used micro scale for years. I have a bottle of mark fit strong I use as well. But seriously, the Mr. mark setter is clearly the best. It will be on my table next week. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for watching, this one took a while to film. Love the Mr Hobby brand
Thanks for the great video.
Really appreciate you going to the effort to do all this, I've been struggling with the Tamiya Mark Fit (regular) as it has barely touched the eBay decals I have, and did leave staining or attacked the paint of the decal, so I used Tamiya Decal Adhesive (which you didn't test) and found that to be quite a bit better... I guess not all decals are created equal but I'll certainly be picking up some Mr. Mark Setter next time I'm at my LHS (plus a new LiPo for my radio transmitter that just decided to puff up...)
Nice test! When I was a kid making models I only used water. Picked up Mr. Mark Setter/Softer when I got back into it.
Great choice, thanks for watching. Check out my follow up video to this one on Walthers Decal Solvent, that stuff is great too
Fantastic review, always wanted to know if they were all the same, many people will learn a lot here !... Cheers ⚓
Another great one B! I have been using the Microsol/set for years but will look out for the Mr/Tamiya versions from now on.
Tamiya just released a Super Strong version, I'll be testing that one too
Excellent video just the information I needed for my decal project, can’t find the setting tool in Canada , but will keep looking
Great job, I'm glad I watched.
I'm glad you watched to 😀
Excellent review of decal solutions...and I've been a Micro-Sol/Micro-Set user for many years...as well as Micro Kristal Klear for canopy/window gluing/repair.
One alternative to the Testors Decal Bonder that I've used successfully is Krylon Crystal Clear acrylic spray...it's a solvent based acrylic and a couple light coats really helps old decals stay solid.
Great information. Thank you!
Your welcome buddy, took awhile to film. Some gave great results.
@@barbatosrex9473 I’m new to the hobby so I really appreciated the information and the tips. The video was long but you have a great speaking style and it was very enjoyable.
You are an absolute legend! Thank you!
You're welcome buddy 👍
LONG Video, but so worth it! It was like taking a class. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to share this!
Personally, I'd probably go with the Tamiya Mark Fit Strong, as it seemed, to me, pretty much the same as the Mr. Mark stuff, didn't stain the chrome, AND it was only a single-step process (versus the 2 of the Mr. stuff, though the single stage seemed okay as well). And Tamiya also seems easier to get. But that's me. :)
Thanks again!
The Mark Fit is awesome. Should be on every modelers bench for sure.
Tip. Tamiya flat clear has been known to eat some decals.it a little too hot. It needs a barrier like testers flat coat first.
I usually do (on armor and aircraft) Tamiya-decals-testors-Tamiya. Personally I think Tamiya is superior to testors flat clear.
I will try mr. setter,usually use Tamiya mark fit strong.
Very informative video. Stay safe 🍻🌲
Your channel gets better and better the more I dive into it. The quality of production/editing and the level of detail you go through to try and help as many people as possible is something else. Even as a veteran of the plastic hobby world, I still learn from your videos every time.
Thank you for the kind words. That means the world to me. Thanks for watching, many more to come
Always quality info M8.
Great vid..been waiting for this one..
Great vid & appreciated to your effort on this vid
My opinion - 1st we do clear lacquer on model surface, then decals are applied later apply Matt coat - just my opinion that the matt coat can also secure as the decals fixer....
Many thanks for this video it is very helpful
Also check out my new video test on Walthers Decal Solvent. It's very good with great results
uble.Invaluable to all model makers. Well done for taking the trouble.
I just ordered a fistfull of GSI products thanks to your videos. Seems like the majority of their catalog does exactly what it's supposed to and does it very well. I'm excited to get some hands on experience!
GSI Mr Hobby is a great company. Everything I own by them just works as it should and at great prices. My favorite brand
love that you put so much time and money into these long-form videos for the community.
Thanks, as long as it's appreciated I'll keep doing them. The little bit I earn here I put back into supplies for more test videos. Thank you for the kind words. Many more videos to come 👍
@@barbatosrex9473 If you ever want to do some testing wiith some resin 3D printed models just give me a shout.
@@PigeonPrint Great, what kind of 3D resin are you producing?
@@barbatosrex9473 Oh, im just a hobby 3D printer, and have recently been getting into photo cured resins for hi detailed models. trouble is not so much conent out there on compairing paints and primers for them. If you ever feel like exploring that side of the modeling hoby, more then happy to send you some printed parts to play about with.
Thank you for this great video! I'll have to work with 40 year old decals, so I'm looking forward to a video with the Testors Decal Bonder Spray. Greetings from Germany
Hello from the states, thanks for watching 👋
I use micro set & sol, but seeing your comparison just might get Mr Mark Setter & softer.👍👍
