Precision decal softening with Tamiya 87193

The Tamiya 87193 Decal Adhesive (Softener Type) comes in a 10ml bottle designed for modelers who need decals to sit cleanly on curved or textured surfaces. It relaxes water-slide decals, letting them settle into recesses for a tidy, low-profile look.

Using the softener in practice

Decals can lift or form air pockets when placed over compound shapes. Tamiya 87193 improves decal suppleness so they conform without wrinkling. The applicator cap helps you apply just the right amount for precise work on small RC parts.

Why modelers choose this product

This softener reduces common finish issues like silvering and trapped air, giving a more authentic appearance to detailing. It is a handy tool for anyone finishing scale RC bodies or adding vinyl markings to custom builds.

Can I use it with vintage style decals?

Yes, it works with most water-slide decals, including thin vintage style films. Apply sparingly and allow time for the decal to settle before sealing with clear coat.

How long before I can lacquer over the decal?

Wait until the adhesive softener has fully dried and the decal is securely bonded. Drying time depends on temperature, but allow several hours and check adhesion before clear coating.

Any tips for tight panel lines?

Work the softener into the decal edges with a soft brush and use a fingertip or cotton bud to press the decal into narrow grooves. Patience and small adjustments prevent tearing.
