Pretty sure it is, the coloured ones are thin, but you need to place a white one under some of them and that's sort of heavy, 7 goes with the sol and I'm still not happy. Sucking the joy out of this build and turned it into a chore.......
Good fun as an experiment Chris, but do you really use that much decal setting solution that this would save you money? Unless I knock it over, I find a bottle lasts at least a decade.I keep meaning to have a go at making my own with white vinegar, I saw it somewhere on the tube of you, and always thought it would save a few pounds here and there..
Might have to invest in some of this for my next Tamiya build….their decals are like vinyl sticker. Funnily enough, Humbrol are part of the same stable as Airfix, and I find Airfix are among the best decals out there, and wouldn’t need anything that aggressive……Hi Karl, adding to Dave's comment, I use Humbrol Decalfix and it is rather aggressive. I've yet to meet a stubborn decal that can resist the stuff. But use carefully, it can disintegrate thin decals.
I have printed decals in the past, but without an ALPS printer white isn't happening.An alternative solution (pun intended), if a bit of a chore. Could you scan and print the decals onto a new decal paper sheet? Only really practical if you have a PC/laptop, scanner and printer, and the know how to do so, but it's actually not that hard. Most scanners come with copy software, and the decal paper is available from Amazon etc. these days.
As an added bonus you'll soon build up a virtual decal bank.
Anyway, good luck with those pesky stickers. They're a bit of a bugbear of mine too.
The Tamiya decals are terrible, thick and resistant to solutions. I have used Microsol, Mr Mark Setter (both old and Neo, the Neo is worse than the original if anything), the Mig one and others. The simple fact is that the company that produces the best kits money can buy cannot do decals!

Funny you should say that as I did knock over my botte of Micro Set a few weeks ago, lost over half of it.....Good fun as an experiment Chris, but do you really use that much decal setting solution that this would save you money? Unless I knock it over, I find a bottle lasts at least a decade.
