Microscale Liquid Decal Film?

I'm working on a model kit from Belchers Bits in Canada. The decals are much thinner than most of the decals I've used before and are causing me issues with tearing. I contacted Belcher and they said the decals were "printed by Microscale" and should behave like other decals. They recommended using a light coat of Microscale Liquid Decal Film first on the decals while on the sheet, letting that dry, then putting the decals in water for application as usual.

I use Microscale Micro Sol and Set all the time when applying decals and they work well, but I've never used their Liquid Decal Film as I haven't needed to before. I've had decent results with printing my own decals using Micro-Mark's 'Clear on Blue Decal Paper for Laser Printers' and was thinking of just using that route.

Belcher has kindly offered to send me another set, which I'll probably take them up on just to test with at least. But was wondering what others would do in this situation. Any helpful comments appreciated, thanks in advance!

"No Name Cool Tooty" Compressor?

Thinking about finally getting a compressor with a small tank. I researched them a bit awhile ago and the No Name Cool Tooty, via Spraygunner dot com, looked like a pretty good deal/machine. Does anyone have any pro's or con's on it, or recommendations for something similarly priced? $160 list price. Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!

"other delivery issue"...resolved?

on my last shift i had an order at a slammed Chipotle. i waited and waited, politely, for probably 20+ minutes. while there i texted the customer to say they were really busy. they texted back saying they understood and given the wait it must be "crazy" there. finally an employee, again, asked to see my order, went to their computer, and told me someone else had taken the order. i was pissed of course, but didn't yell at them or lose my cool. i left the restaurant, texted the customer what i had been told and cancelled the order.

the following day i got an email from uber saying i had "taken an order" without hitting that i took the order on the app and that i didn't deliver that order. i didn't deliver it, because i didn't take the order of course. so i went into the app, found the cancelled order and put a note on it under "other delivery issue" explaining what happened.

today i got a response saying they "understand", "apologize", "appreciate" etc, but nothing about if the 'this driver stole a burrito-frowny face' was removed from my driver account. it's marked as 'resolved-no response needed'. can anyone tell me, from my rambling post, if Ubereats did indeed remove the negative incident from my delivery account?

TL,DR: slammed restaurant, waited 20+ minutes, was told someone else took it, cancelled it, then was informed 24 hours later by Uber i stole the order. contacted Uber after that, but i'm unclear if i still have the 'ding' on my account
