Gain More Control Over Acrylic Drying

Tamiya 87114 Paint Retarder is made for Tamiya Acrylic Paints and gives hobbyists more time to work paint on surfaces. Slower drying reduces brush marks and uneven texture, making it easier to achieve consistent coats. Mix carefully at ratios up to 1:10 depending on the technique.

Use It to Perfect Gloss and Smoothness

For a high gloss or glass like look, the retarder keeps paint workable so you can blend edges and smooth out imperfections before the film sets. The product comes in a 40ml bottle, handy for several model builds or repair jobs.

It noticeably extends drying time depending on how much you add. Use sparingly to get extra working time without making paint too slow to cure.
You can try small test mixes with metallic Tamiya acrylics. Watch for any change in metallic effect and adjust the retarder amount to maintain the finish.
Start with minimal retarder and increase until you find a comfortable working window. For airbrushing, test spray and clean the nozzle regularly to avoid clogging.
