The smooth, non-porous surface of the gloss coat allows the decal to be positioned more easily and helps the decal solution work more effectively to prevent silvering.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-hveid=\"CAEIBRAC\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eTest first\u003c\/strong\u003e: Always test the product on a hidden or scrap piece of painted plastic to ensure compatibility with your specific brand and application method.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Y3BBE\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAEIBhAA\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003eBy following these guidelines, you can achieve excellent results\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003eon your acrylic-painted models.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PM Hansen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128411205887,"sku":null,"price":6.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1979\/6991\/files\/87193_1.jpg?v=1769883992","url":"https:\/\/thenortherncitadel.ca\/products\/tamiya-decal-adhesive-softener-type-tam87193","provider":"The Northern Citadel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
