Now compare that to DCL-PH8 - the font is the same. The only difference is that the original 1932-36 decals had a copper-ish hue while the new repros are gold. I know they are the same...because I am the person who redesigned that decal in Photoshop.
You're welcome. 
I've never used Micro Set prior to applying a decal, but have tried Micro Sol afterwards. In my experience, I could not tell a difference between a decal with Micro Sol and one without; the decals still stood out a bit. I'm probably doing something wrong; maybe I should be using Micro Set prior to decal placement?
