  • Indispensable but hard to find
This product makes a world of difference when brush painting with Tamiya acrylics. Just one drop per 10 to 12 drops of paint prolongs drying time, improves self leveling and virtually eliminates brush marks. I have had difficulty finding this paint retarder in the USA and I now purchase it from Asia when I can find it. It takes longer to arrive (4-6 weeks) but it is well worth the wait. I hope Tamiya makes the effort to more readily provide this product world wide in the near future. Work arounds exist but this is A number one! ... show more

  • It works as described.
Works well as a retarder for acrylic paints for scale models.

  • A drop in every airbrush cup!
Paints that dry before they flow out...help them level by retarding the process allowing proper settling. This is what I use religiously. The one of many that I prefer.

  • Transforms the brush painting characteristics of Tamiya Acrylics.
I have been using this stuff for a while. I add a few drops of retarder to paint i've poured into a pallet. The brush and flow characteristics improve noticeably, and it prevents the Tamiya acrylics from getting gummy, as the paint dries from the outside in. Takes a little bit of experimentation to get a proper "feel" for adding the right amount of retarder, but anybody who uses Tamiya acrylic paints should have this close by. ... show more

  • It does work.
Getting the ratio can be difficult, but it’s much better then thinner. I’m very new to paining models (Gundams) and when u get it right it sits great.

  • Don’t paint acrylics without it!
Delays drying time of acrylic paints. Works not only with Tamiya acrylics but also works well with Testors/Model Master acrylics. Acrylics dry so fast that it is almost impossible not to have brush marks or pull up just painted areas. Using thinner helps to some degree, but retarder makes a huge difference. After using it I won’t hand paint acrylics. without it. ... show more

  • Works well
Tried this product and it actually works quite well enabling brush painting of tamiya acrylics with no brush marks!

  • Works as advertised!
Works wonders when using paint brush! I add just three drops of retarder to about a tablespoon of Tamiya thinner and that does the trick. One special quality it has is it slows paint drying time without changing the sheen.
