Description
Product Information Details:
Mr. Mark Softer is a decal softener.
It can soften surfaces with uneven molds, curved surfaces, and hard decals, allowing them to blend with the surface.
It can be applied over a decal that has already been applied to get the desired effect.
The softening solvent will soften the decal rapidly, so be careful not to apply too much.
The decal itself may melt, break when applying to the surface, or erode the painted surface.
This product is water-soluble, hence adding water appropriately will dilute the effect of the solvent and prevent rapid softening.
Depending on the painted surface and type of decal used, it is best to dilute with water before use.
After applying the decal, lightly press the decal with a lightly dampened Mr. Cotton Swab, Mr. Clean Stick 2, or a dust-free cloth to ensure that the decal adheres firmly to the surface of the part.
At this time, wipe off any excess Mr. Mark Softer to prevent it from softening too much.
Using a wet cotton swab will neutralize the Mark Softer and prevent it from becoming too soft from the solvent.
If air bubbles get between the decal and the part (silvering), after the decal has dried, carefully poke holes in the decal with a needle or craft knife.
Then, by applying Mr. Mark Softer again, the decal will soften again, the air bubbles will disappear, and the decal will adhere firmly to the surface of the part.
One way to prevent silvering is to finish the base on which the decal will be attached with a glossy surface.
The main agent used in the previous product has been changed to an environmentally friendly one and redesigned.
The changes made with the change are as follows.
・Decals are now easier to soften. Silvering is less likely to occur even when used on semi-gloss or matte paint instead of on gloss paint.
・It has more dissolving power for water-based hobby colors than the previous product.
This is especially noticeable when the drying time is short, so make sure to dry thoroughly and avoid applying large amounts.
If you do use it, it is best to dilute Mark Softer with water to reduce its dissolving power before use.
It depends on the drying time of the coating, the amount used, how you wipe it off, etc., but a dilution of about 10% is a good guideline.
