To me Microsol, micro set, smells like white Vinegar and sodium. (salt)
Is it possible that it is indeed Vinegar?

I warned you it was dumb question !!

TIA,
Brett Johnson.

Set is basically the same as vinegar, Sol isn't.

I've been asking myself the same about Micro Set

March 26 2012, 5:57 AM 

Vinegar is 5% acetic acid. This organic acid has a typical smell. Micro Set is most probably acetic acid but maybe not at 5%.

Micro Sol is definitively not Saline and does not smell like rubbing alcohol (isopropyl).

I have often found in life that when you ask a question where "everyone knows the answer", you will sometimes get a surprising diversity of responses. You may even learn that the accepted truth is wrong.

butyl cellosolve

March 26 2012, 10:41 AM 

I have been told but have been unable to absolutely confirm that both Micro Set and Micro Sol are both made from mostly distilled water and a tiny amount of butyl cellosolve. The difference between the two products is the amount of chemical. Any chemists out there?

Can't believe that's true

MicroSet and MicroSol smell and behave completely differently. Set does not soften/melt decal material; Sol does.

Actually I find that Set does soften the decal slightly. Although I don't know if that means the same chemical is in both.

Butyl Cellosolve is toxic

March 27 2012, 12:13 AM 

The MSDS for Micro Sol states 'no toxic ingredients.' So there is no Butyl Cellosolve in Micro Sol. Since there are no toxic components, there's no way to tell from the MSDS what is in MIcroSol.
