Tamiya 87193 Decal Adhesive Softener Type - Applicator Cap Edition  [87193]

Decal finishing aid Tamiya 87193

The Tamiya 87193 Decal Adhesive (Softener Type) is a 10ml treatment aimed at RC enthusiasts who need decals to conform smoothly to body contours. It helps decals settle into curves and undercut areas, lowering the chance of silvering and visible edges.

Practical tips for model finishing

When applying decals over compound shapes, the softener makes the film more pliable so it follows the underlying surface. The applicator cap provides fine control so you can target only the area that needs softening without flooding the decal.

Advantages for RC model work

Using Tamiya 87193 reduces air pockets and edge lift, producing a cleaner finish that holds up under normal handling. It is particularly useful for hobbyists adding multiple small markings or decals to painted and clear coated shells.
