The DSPIAE ETC-03 Decal Softener is designed to help decals conform smoothly to curved, textured, or recessed surfaces. It gently softens decal film, allowing it to settle naturally over panel lines, rivets, and surface details for a painted-on finish.
Ideal for scale models, miniatures, and Gunpla, ETC-03 reduces silvering and improves decal realism without damaging print quality when used correctly.
