Archer Transfers...Did you know this?

Actually, Micro-Mark’s ain’t hitting the mark, ….very very weak detail. When you go to solvaset them, they get even worse,…..I was completely disappointed with that product, …..

Thanks for the heads-up:  I went in and ordered something I need for a project and to have some extra for the future.

Pat...

Since M-M might be the only 'game' left in town, you might want to bring this to their attention...if not already.  Seems like it might be a formulation issue with the rivet medium...perhaps something they or their source could easily remedy.

The whole idea of waterslide rivets intrigued me when I first learned about Archer's product.  By then I was entrenched in the idea that today's technology for making WS decals was on a laser or inkjet printer, and I couldn't imagine how they pulled if off.  But then I recalled that back in ye olde days (e.g., Champ), it was a screening process...and that process seemed more easily plausible for creating rivets with texture...assuming the right medium (i.e., something more paste-like than fluid).  But, I really have no idea how they truly do it.

Nonetheless, the same customer I referenced in my opening comment was VERY happy our store had the M-M sheets in stock...having apparently used them previously.

Always tough when the hobby loses a unique/rare product/source.  Just thought we might try to help someone fill the void to our expectations.

Sure could, …I didn’t pay it no never mind, when I saw the MM rivets basically sucked, I went and got a set of Archer’s …..and ahhhhh,…..instant relief from my pain….😉
