Tamiya 87135 – Mark Fit Strong 40ml

Tamiya 87135 – Mark Fit Strong (Decal Setting Solution)

Tamiya’s “Mark Fit Strong” is an advanced decal softening solution designed to tackle challenging applications, particularly on surfaces that are curved, irregular, or matte-finished. It’s the more potent variant in Tamiya’s Mark Fit series, offering faster and deeper conforming power

Key Features:

• Enhanced Softening: Compared to the standard version, the Strong formula excels at molding decals to shapes like rounded fenders or scale figure contours.
• Built-in Applicator: Comes in a 40 ml bottle with a fine brush cap for controlled application—ideal for precise use over recessed or detailed areas .
• Improved Adhesion & Smoothing: Helps decals naturally settle, dissolve micro wrinkles, and stick down even on tough surfaces—especially useful on matte or textured paint.
• Versatile Use: Commonly used on plastic model kits, miniatures, and vehicles where decals must conform to uneven geometry.
• Caution on Paint Types: Some acrylic-painted surfaces may be sensitive to solvents—testing in a hidden area beforehand is recommended.

Usage Tip

1. Apply Decal Normally – Soak your decal in water, slide it into place.
2. Brush on Mark Fit Strong – Using the built-in applicator, gently apply over the decal. Avoid brushing too much to prevent tearing.
3. Let it Work – The solution will soften the decal so it sinks into panel lines and surface detail. Some wrinkles may appear—this is normal and they will smooth out as it dries.
4. Press Lightly if Needed – After partial drying (about 10–15 min), you can lightly press the decal with a soft cloth or cotton bud to conform it fully.
