Microsol

I am not quite sure where to post a request for modelling help but as it hopefully may generate a Tutorial I'll give this a go.

It is actually a long number of years now since I applied a water slide transfer (they may be a decal to you but they will always be a transfer to me!) and I know I am going to have to do it again in the not too distant future with my current project.

I intend making my own with the aid of a computer and some sheets of transfer paper but I would like to know what this business is all about as regards Microsol. How do you use it, what does it do, what are the pitfalls, is it really worth it etc.. etc.. Any help from anyone who has used it would be very much appreciated.

Also on a similar subject the last time I did apply transfers I sprayed the model with a matt clear varnish to seal them. No matter how well I shook the tin I ended up with a deepening of the colour and a satin rather than a matt finish. I used a mini tin of Humbrol spray. This put me off the idea but I still want to seal the transfers as I am talking about a Radio Controlled boat. Did I do something wrong?
