Walthers Solvaset Decal Setting Solution – 2 oz Bottle for Waterslide Model Decals

Walthers Solvaset Decal Setting Solution for Waterslide Decals

Walthers Solvaset is a classic decal setting solution used by model railroaders, scale model builders, and hobbyists to help waterslide decals conform to surface details, panel lines, rivets, seams, louvers, grooves, and irregular shapes.

Solvaset is especially useful when applying decals to model trains, freight cars, locomotives, structures, vehicles, aircraft, military models, and other scale hobby projects where a painted-on appearance is desired. It helps soften the decal film so the decal can settle down over raised and recessed details for a cleaner, more realistic finish.

Great for Model Railroad and Scale Hobby Decals

Use Walthers Solvaset when applying waterslide decals to HO scale, N scale, O scale, S scale, and other modeling projects. It is a popular choice for custom decals, railroad lettering, heralds, data sets, road numbers, warning labels, striping, and other fine decal details.

How to Use Solvaset

Apply your waterslide decal using your normal decal process, then carefully brush a small amount of Solvaset over the decal once it is positioned. Let the solution work without touching or moving the decal while it softens and settles. The decal may wrinkle during the process; this is normal. Allow it to dry fully before applying clear coat or additional weathering.

Important: Always test first, especially over delicate paint, fresh paint, custom printed decals, or unknown finishes. Solvaset is a stronger decal setting solution and should be used carefully.
