Vallejo Decal Softener 73.212 – 17ml Decal Setting Solution for Scale Models

Vallejo Decal Softener – Professional Setting Solution for Waterslide Decals

Achieve seamless, film-free decal application with Vallejo Decal Softener (73.212). Specially formulated to soften waterslide decals after application, allowing them to conform naturally to curved surfaces, panel lines, and textured areas without silvering or lifting — an essential finishing accessory for miniature painters and scale modellers.

Key Features

• Softens waterslide decals to conform to curved and irregular surfaces
• Eliminates silvering and air bubbles for a seamless, painted-on appearance
• Prevents decal lifting and edge peeling on complex surface geometries
• Water-based formula — safe, low odour, and easy to use
• Supplied in a convenient 17ml dropper bottle for precise, controlled application
• Compatible with all standard waterslide decals

Recommended Use

Apply the decal to a gloss-varnished surface using water in the usual way. Once positioned, apply a small amount of Vallejo Decal Softener over the decal with a soft brush. Allow to dry without touching — the decal will soften and conform to the surface. Apply a second coat if needed for complex curves. Once fully dry, seal with a matt or satin varnish to protect the decal and blend it into the surrounding paintwork.

Ideal For

Warhammer 40K vehicle markings, chapter iconography, and tactical markings, Age of Sigmar banners and shields, Bolt Action vehicle numbers and national insignia, historical aircraft and armour decals, scale model kits, and any project where clean, film-free waterslide decal application is essential.
