Detail

Mr. Mark Softer is a decal softener.
It can soften uneven surfaces, curved surfaces, and hard decals, allowing them to blend into the surface.

You can achieve the desired effect by applying it over a decal that has already been applied.
The softening solvent will soften the decal rapidly, so be careful not to apply too much.
The decal itself may melt, break when it is applied to the surface, or erode the painted surface.

This product is water-soluble. 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 recommended to dilute it 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 damp cotton swab will neutralize the Mark Softer and prevent it from becoming too soft with the solvent.

If air bubbles get between the decal and the part (silvering), after the decal has dried, carefully poke a hole in the decal with a needle or design knife. Then, apply Mr. Mark Softer again to soften the decal again, which will remove the air bubbles and allow the decal to adhere firmly to the surface of the part.

One way to prevent silvering is to finish the base on which the decal will be applied 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 are as follows.

– Decals are now easier to soften. Silvering is less likely to occur even when used on semi-gloss or matte paint rather than on gloss paint.

– It has more dissolving power for water-based hobby colors than before. This is particularly noticeable when the drying time is short, so please dry thoroughly and avoid applying large amounts. If you use it, it is best to dilute Mark Softer with water to reduce its dissolving power before use.
Although this will depend on the drying time of the paint film, the amount used, and how you wipe it off, a dilution of about 10% is a good guideline.
