Tamiya 87193 DECAL ADHESIVE / SOFTENER is a specialized chemical product, essential for every modeler striving for a perfect finish on their models. The 10 ml bottle contains an advanced formula that significantly simplifies the application and enhances the aesthetics of decals on plastic surfaces.
Applications and Key Features
This Tamiya product is a versatile solution for model decals, combining the functions of an adhesive and a softener. It is designed for use with water-slide decals and offers a range of benefits:
Enhances Adhesion: Ensures a strong and durable bond between the decals and the plastic surface of the model, preventing peeling and the formation of air bubbles underneath.
Softening and Conforming: Actively softens the decal film, allowing it to perfectly conform to irregular shapes, raised details, recessed areas, panel lines, rivets, and other model details.
Reduces "Silvering" Effect: Helps eliminate the unwanted "silvering" effect, which appears as light, reflective spots under the clear film of the decal, resulting from trapped air.
Facilitates Positioning: Thanks to the initial glide provided by the product, precise positioning of the decal before it permanently bonds to the model becomes much easier.
