Tamiya Decal Adhesive (Softener)

Tamiya Decal Adhesive (Softener) is a decal setting and softening solution designed to improve the adhesion of water-slide decals and help them conform to curved surfaces, panel lines, rivets and raised details. It reduces the risk of decals lifting over time and helps to minimise unwanted silvering.

• Boosts adhesion of water-slide decals on painted or bare plastic parts.
• Softening effect: gently softens the decal film so it can conform to curves and fine surface detail.
• Ideal for car models, aircraft, tanks, mecha kits and figure models.
• Helps prevent trapped air bubbles and cloudy, silvery patches under decals.
• Perfect for modellers seeking a more realistic and professional decal finish.

Suggested use: apply a small amount of Tamiya Decal Adhesive (Softener) to the area where the decal will be placed, position the water-slide decal and gently press it down with a cotton bud or soft brush. If needed, apply a second coat to help the decal settle into the details of the model. Allow to dry fully before applying any clear coat.
