MS232 Mr. Mark Setter Bottle, GSI

I'm working on a scale model of a vehicle that I used to drive out of sentiment, since I can no longer find this vehicle. I bought the scale model when I just got the car but never got to work on it. This is my very first scale model of any kind.What I feared was that the decals came with the model are also old and might have deteriorated. The scale model has been discontinued a long time ago and I cannot get any new decals.So I got this product, Mr. Mark Setter. Decals are also called water-slide decal or sometimes slide-mark in Japan where this product is made, and that's why it's a "Mark" setter. But anyway it's a glue for decals with some gentle softer in it. The front label says "Slide-mark softener/glue Mr. Mark Setter, let decals stick securely. It softens slide-mark and glue component sticks slide-mark strongly. Some decals may become too soft. Try with a piece of decal you don't need first".It works really well for tiny decals. The model is 1/24 and everything is so tiny and I need to slide a decal over a surface to place it where it should be. So I apply just a small amount of Mr. Mark Setter on the spot where I want a decal, then place the decal, wiggle it and find a perfect spot and absorb excessive water with a Q-Tip. It softens decals and helps decal to stick well to the surface but not to the point where it becomes wrinkly or torn.Some modelers say that this dissolve a lacquer paint layer and some say it doesn't. I didn't have any issue with surfaces with Mr. Color.My brother who deceased this summer was a first generation "Gun-Ota" back in late 70's, claimed my room in my parents' house as his "colony for Gundam model production". We were not very close in his late years but I wish I could ask him for tips of making scale models, at least let him know that I'm now working on my first scale model and enjoying it.

Easy to use

Upped my waterslide game 100%

Works Perfect for water slide gundam decals, and to use this all you so is put a tiny bit on the part and then place the decal. Make sure to use a cutton bud to take off extra liquid once the decal was applied and then your set. Pretty easy.

No issues with the product... my complaint is the maker changed the bottle design from square to round resulting in the product no longer fits in the plastic tandem holder meant to stabilize it against tip overs..... solution, of course, was to to transfer new contents into the older jar.

Great stuff for applying water slide decals. I mainly use it for Gunpla, and I usually use it with Mr. Mark Softer. The setter goes on before the decal is applied to stick said decal to the surface of your model. The softer goes on top of the placed decal to essential conform it to the model, giving it a more flattened, painted look.

So before using I had water slide decals that were moving around due to the adhesive being weak on small parts. After applying a thin layer and then touching with a cotton swap 5 mins later to remove excess and setting overnight the decals stay put.

Mark Setter works well with Hotwheels decal applications. Allows decals to properly adhere to car castings before final clear coat spray.
