Slow down the drying. Step up the control. Perfect your paintwork.

The AK Interactive AK737 Drying Retarder is a versatile acrylic paint additive designed to extend drying time, improve paint handling, and provide greater control during airbrushing and brush painting. By slowing down evaporation, it helps prevent premature paint drying, allowing modelers to work more comfortably and achieve smoother, more consistent results.

When airbrushing, acrylic paints can dry rapidly on the needle tip, particularly in warm or dry conditions. Adding a few drops of AK737 helps reduce this frustrating phenomenon, commonly known as tip dry, allowing longer painting sessions with fewer interruptions for cleaning.

For brush painting, the extended working time opens up additional creative possibilities. It makes blending colors, creating subtle transitions, and applying delicate glazing effects easier, particularly when painting figures, cockpit details, and other intricate components.

Its odorless, non-toxic formulation makes it a practical addition to any acrylic painting setup, whether you're working on aircraft, armor, figures, or dioramas.
