ETC-04 Adhesive Decal Softener is a standard decal softener with adhesive added, to improve how a decal grips the model; DSPIAE recommends it for decals whose own glue on the backing paper is weak. The method differs from ETC-03: apply an adequate amount to the model where the decal will sit, slide the soaked decal into place, dab off the water using a cotton swab and press the film repeatedly to push out trapped air. ETC-03 may then be brushed over the film. The main composition is organic solvent, water and resin, and DSPIAE warns that sediment can form when the bottle stands, so shake it well before use.
Fill: 40 ml in a 68 × 42 mm glass bottle
Purple cap with a brush fixed underneath
Keep it from children under 14 and avoid dropping the glass bottle

Notes · Q & A
What's the difference between a paint and a wash?+
Paints are opaque colour for coverage; washes are thin, pigmented fluids that flow into recesses to add shading and depth. Most painters use both.
Can I use these paints in an airbrush?+
Many acrylics can be thinned for airbrushing — check the product description; ranges marked "Air" or "airbrush-ready" work straight from the bottle.
Do I need a primer?+
Yes for bare plastic, resin or metal — primer gives paint a surface to grip and prevents chipping.
