I've used a lot of the old decals. Dullcoat or the Microscale work fine. I think I've also used other clearcoats (whatever was handy). Don't recall the brands. I guess you risk ruining the images with a solvent based product. I always use a thin layer, which may rule out spray can applications. The drawback of the Microscale stuff is it makes a thick layer which is harder to disguise. Maybe that's how I got into the habit of "heavy wearhering".
Good luck Stan.

These would be some decals in some old Trainstuff kits that were done for Don T. by Herald King. They look beat up but I am hoping to salvage them. Does the Microscale Liquid Decal stuff work? I guess the idea is to coat an old decal and hope that (a) the decal will lift off the backing paper and (b) the decal will also remain intact and not float off into little bitty pieces. Thanks and Happy New Year to all. Stan Furmanak Annville, PA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
