Asked in gunpla thread but no answer, so I'll ask here.
How do you get water decals to bend around sharp corners? They pop back up every time. Or maybe I'm leaving them in the water too long, and the glue is already dissolved?

Also, where around KL can you get a can of spray on Flat top coat? Asked the other day at Gamers Arena in BTS, they're sold out.

I want to restart my MG Unicorn since I messed up the top coating on it.
Going to re-decal it with waterslide decals too.

Now, the big question is:
What should i submerge it in to properly get rid of the top coating?

Hello sifus. Want to ask something.
What are your methods for really fine panel lining?
Like, even more fine than your standard Gundam Panel Liner pen (which I'm currently using now). Can't seem to reproduce really thin lines on my models.

I tried using brake fluid earlier today to strip Mr Flat top coating (i think it was enamel) on a test plastic piece. Didn't seem to have any effect. Should I soak it longer? Granted, the brake fluid I bought is some no-name cheapo brand.
