Tamiya 87194 Retarder Type Lacquer Thinner 250ml - Model Shop Pack  [87194]

Fine-Tune Your Lacquer Paint with Tamiya 87194

The Tamiya 87194 Lacquer Thinner (Retarder Type) in a 250ml bottle gives hobbyists better control over lacquer paint behaviour. It is intended for use with Tamiya Color lacquer paints and helps smooth out brush and airbrush coats.

Control Drying for Crisp Coats

Adding the retarder slows the surface cure of airbrushed layers so paints have extra time to level. That reduces the risk of blushing in damp conditions. Start with around 1 to 2 parts thinner to 1 part paint and alter the mix to match your airflow and humidity.

Tips for Detailed Work

This thinner is useful on fine scale kits and figure painting where slow drying allows better blending and fewer brush marks. Use sparingly to preserve the lacquer's original gloss and adhesion properties.
