"For the most realistic models, decals should look like they're painted on. Getting professional results is easy with Solvaset. It actually softens the decal film so it snuggles down to the surface and stretches over details, such as rivets, without hiding them. Also eliminates air bubbles, white spots, draping and silvering. Just brush it on and Solvaset does the rest!. Can be diluted with water for use on delicate decals."

Solvaset is a 'hot' decal solvent; it works by apparently melting the decal onto the model and surface details so that it has the covering properties of paint. Compared to Solvaset, Micro-Sol and Micro-Set are much weaker products.
