Yes, I compared it and DCL-PH8 is the one I will go with.
From the videos I've seen it looks like you use the Micro Set first and then Micro Sol after. But Micro Sol is more for getting the decal to conform to irregular surfaces, not a flat surface like we are talking about. I'll probably try it anyway. Can't hurt.
And thanks for designing the new decals for Radio Daze!!!
