A water-based acrylic solution that secures decals and wet transfers to model surfaces. It prepares the surface for the decal, improves adhesion and prevents the micro air bubbles that cause silvering, all without needing a prior coat of varnish. After drying it leaves a matte finish that blends the decal edges into the surrounding paint so they are no longer visible. Companion to Vallejo Decal Softener 73.212 — use Fix first to secure the decal, then Softener to conform it to surface detail.
Brush a thin coat onto the surface before placing the decal
Apply again over the positioned decal to smooth the edges
Multiple layers can be applied; a final varnish coat will not disturb the decal
Non-flammable, non-toxic, water-based

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.
