Slow the Cure for Cleaner Results

Tamiya 87114 Paint Retarder is intended for use with Tamiya Acrylic Paints to slow film formation and make paint easier to manipulate. The extended open time helps reduce brush streaks and uneven texture, and the product is compatible at mixing rates up to 1:10 with these acrylics.

Maintain Workability for a Smooth Gloss

When aiming for an even glossy coat, the retarder keeps paint workable longer so you can polish out flaws and refine edges before the surface sets. The bottle holds 40ml, providing enough material for multiple detailing sessions or finishing passes.

Used correctly with Tamiya acrylic clears, the retarder can aid levelling. Keep within the recommended mix ratios and test on scrap to ensure compatibility.
When mixed properly, adhesion to primed surfaces should remain unchanged. Avoid overuse and ensure surfaces are clean and properly prepared before painting.
Mix a small sample with the paint and apply to a scrap piece. Watch drying behaviour and finish, then adjust the retarder amount as needed before using on a model.
