We all come to the point with every model when it is time to apply the decals.  The first thing we do is go and grab a bowl, put some warm water into it and cut out the first of many decals for our latest model.  By the time you get to decal #2 or #3 the decal water is stone cold.  You can use decal water that is stone cold, but I've found that decals just seem to apply a bit nicer when the water is warm.  The warm water seems to loosen the glue easier as you separate the decal from the backing paper.

So...what to do....keep changing the water in your decal water bowl for each decal....hardly practical.  Or just put up with cold water.....hardly appealing.  Here's an item I just learned about for keeping your decal water warm for hours.  

Do you sit down to build some models or go online, only to find your mug of your favourite hot drink has gone cold, well this unit works like a charm to keep your piping hot drink piping hot.  The smaller opening of the mug vents off less heat, so your hot drink stays piping hot....instead of just luke warm like your bowl of decal water.

This unit is SO cool how well it works for keeping decal water warm and coffee/tea piping hot.
