Achieve Cleaner Surfaces with Mr. Hobby GSI-T105 Retarder Mild

The Mr. Hobby GSI-T105 Retarder Mild 40ml is formulated to slow down drying of lacquer paints, giving modellers additional time to blend and smooth coats. This helps to minimise brush strokes and supports more even coverage across parts.

Benefits for Scale Modelling

Whether working on intricate areas or larger panels, GSI-T105 provides a modest extension of open time so paint has a chance to level. That extra control is useful when striving for consistent finishes.

Using with Mr.Color and Technique Notes

Intended for Mr.Color lacquer series, the retarder is mixed in small quantities to extend workability without over thinning. Always trial mixes and adjust slowly until the finish meets your expectations.

Should I use retarder for weathering and washes?

Retarder is mainly for slowing lacquer drying during basecoats and blends; for washes and weathering consider products designed specifically for those techniques.

Does it impact clear coats applied later?

When used in moderation it should not prevent clear coats from bonding, but allow full cure and follow the clear coat makers guidance for best results.

Any tips for mixing small batches?

Mix tiny test batches and note the drops used so you can replicate the ratio. Work incrementally to avoid overextending drying time or thinning the colour too much.

Is it suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is simple to use for beginners provided they start with small additions and practice on test pieces to understand the effect on drying and flow.
