Removing Decals Decals can be removed from a model provided the model has not been over sprayed with a finishing coat. That is, a gloss, satin or flat finishing product. If the model has a finish coating applied, then it might become necessary to completely strip the painted model and start over.If the decals have no finish coat applied, first start by applying adhesive back masking tape over the decal. The tackier tape used, the better luck you will have with the removal. After rubbing the tape in place, lift and slowly pull at a shallow angle back over its self. With luck, most of the decal lettering should lift off. Any remaining decal material can then be soaked off with water.Another method is to use our product, Micro-Sol (red label) to the remaining decal. Let the solution soak a few minutes and then use a pink rubber pencil eraser and rub over the decal working carefully as not to remove the painted surface. A fingernail will also work. Be sure to rinse off the area with fresh water as letting the Micro-Sol set too long can case the paint to lift. Repeat as necessary.
from the microscale website (the guys from microset/microset):
Ah, yes, when I saw the title this microsol product was the first thing I thought of. I have a bottle but I have never used it.
