Modders' glow-in-the-dark shrink sheet

The Tamiya 70161 Heat Shrinking Pla Plate is designed for hobbyists who want to add glowing highlights to model bodies and accessories. It offers easy shaping and retains a charge after light exposure.

Performance and handling

With a thickness of 0.2mm the plate is thin yet durable enough for detailing. Heating tightens the material to surfaces and strengthens the emitted glow for clearer visual accents.

Design and finishing hints

Use oil-based markers or coloured pencils to add patterns before shrinking. Work incrementally with heat to get smooth contours and avoid stress points on the shell.

How long does the glow last during use?

Glow duration depends on charge time and intensity; after a strong light charge you can expect visible glow for several minutes to an hour in low light.

Any tips for avoiding wrinkles when shrinking?

Apply heat evenly and keep the sheet taut while shrinking. Move the heat source steadily and stop frequently to check the fit.

Can I layer multiple sheets for stronger glow?

Yes, stacking thin sheets can increase brightness, but test fit and heat carefully to avoid excessive bulk or poor adhesion.

What tools are best for shaping this plate?

A hobby knife, fine scissors and a low-wattage heat gun or hair dryer work well for cutting and shrinking with control.
