Technical Characteristics and Application
Techmod decals feature high printing precision, crisp edges, and faithful color reproduction. These are water-slide decals, meaning they require immersion in water to separate the graphic layer from the paper backing before application to the model. For optimal results and better conformity to the model's curves, the use of specialized decal setting solutions (softeners and fixatives) is recommended, which are available in the 'Modeling Chemicals' section.
