Vallejo PREMIUM COLOR 065 Retarder – An Essential Additive for Acrylic Paints
Vallejo Retarder 065 was developed with modelers and artists in mind who require precise control over the drying process of their acrylic paints. Its use allows you to extend the working time with paint on your palette and on the model being painted, which is crucial for achieving smooth tonal transitions, shading, and "wet-on-wet" techniques.
Key Product Applications
Slowing Paint Drying: When added to acrylic paint, the retarder significantly extends the time the paint remains wet and workable. This is invaluable when painting large surfaces or using advanced painting techniques.
Improved Flow and Consistency: In addition to slowing drying, the product also improves paint flow, which facilitates its application with both brushes and an airbrush, reducing the risk of nozzle clogging.
Painting Techniques: It enables effortless color blending, gradient creation, and layering, which is especially useful in figure and diorama modeling.
Key Technical Specifications
Volume: 60 ml. An optimal volume for regular use, providing long-lasting support for your modeling projects.
Manufacturer: VALLEJO. A guarantee of high quality and reliability, highly valued in the modeling community.
Compatibility and Usage
Vallejo Retarder 065 is perfectly compatible with paints from the VALLEJO PREMIUM COLOR series but can also be effectively used with other acrylic paints, both water-based and acrylic solvent-based. It is recommended to add the retarder in small, gradual amounts until the desired consistency and drying time are achieved. Precise dosing is crucial for maintaining the paint's optimal properties and avoiding over-thinning.
The product does not negatively affect paint adhesion or its final finish after drying. It is a colorless liquid that does not alter the shade or saturation of colors.
Who Is This Product For?
Vallejo Retarder 065 is an essential addition for any modeler, artist, or hobbyist who works with acrylic paints and aims to achieve professional painting results. It is especially recommended for those who:
Paint with an airbrush and want to prevent paint from drying too quickly in the nozzle.
Perform complex brush shading and blending.
Need more time to correct mistakes while painting.
Use wet-on-wet techniques or apply many thin layers.
