Personalise Your RC Gear with Tamiya Shrink Sheets

The Tamiya 70215 Heat-Shrinking Pla-plate is aimed at RC fans who enjoy making customised parts and personal touches. Offered in convenient B6 sheets, this product simplifies producing small bespoke items for models and accessories.

Shrink Behaviour and Practical Use

This pla-plate reduces to about 1/6 of its original dimensions when heated, letting you draw larger artwork that condenses into fine details. Typical tools include a toaster oven along with permanent markers and scissors to cut out shapes. The sheets start clear for easy tracing, and the white colour deepens after shrinking to improve visibility of designs.

What You Get and Helpful Hints

The pack includes two white B6 sheets, suitable for several small projects. Besides permanent markers, coloured pencils are a good option for subtle shading. Clear instructions in Japanese and English are included so you can follow the process step by step.

Is the shrink ratio consistent across the sheet?

Shrinkage is generally uniform when heat is applied evenly, which is why a toaster oven is preferred for consistent results across the whole sheet.

Can I print designs onto the sheet before shrinking?

Printing may be possible with compatible inks, but many hobbyists find permanent markers or hand drawing gives more predictable results. Always try a test piece to confirm adhesion and appearance after shrinking.

Are there simple finishing tricks for small parts?

After shrinking you can lightly sand edges or apply a thin clear coat for extra durability and a smoother look on badges and tags.
