Hi to all modellers out there. As you can see, the Enterprise is coming along. I'm now fixing the decals to the hull. There's quite a few sheets intended to give it the 'hull plating' look. One problem I have encountered is that they tear easily and can chip. This morning, I lightly touched part of it and the damn stuff stuck to my finger, tearing itself despite having been applied last week so I thought it was ok ( 7am this morning, emergency repairs to the secondary hull - Scotty would have been proud

).
The (US) instructions suggest you use 'Clear Kote' which is some kind of decal setting solution but I did buy some 'decalfix' from my local hobby shop that can be used when applying and after.
Trouble is, apart from smelling of ammonia, is you have to paint it on and it's difficult to get an even coating. I was wondering if there's some kind of decal setting spray out there?. Any suggestions?.
