The Stedi Water-Based Accent Panel Liner is a detailing fluid developed for modelers who want clean, sharp panel lines without risking damage to plastic parts. Using a gentle water-based formula, this liner is ideal for both painted and unpainted kits, flowing effortlessly into recessed areas to enhance depth and definition. Unlike enamel-based products, Stedi’s liner is safe on bare plastic, making it suitable even for straight builds without topcoat. With a range of basic tones—such as black, gray, and brown—it’s perfect for subtle shading and realistic mechanical effects across various model kits, including Gunpla, mecha, and scale vehicles.
Features:
-
Water-based and plastic-safe: Won’t crack or damage uncoated plastic surfaces
-
Available in black, gray, and brown: Versatile tones for mechanical detail and shading effects
-
Built-in brush applicator: For direct, controlled panel lining
-
Capillary flow formula: Automatically seeps into panel lines and recessed areas
-
Easy cleanup: Excess liner can be removed with a damp cotton swab or water brush
Usage Notes:
- For optimal results, use on glossy surfaces or over a topcoat—this helps prevent staining and makes cleanup easier.
- If using directly on matte plastic or paint, test in a hidden area first to check for staining or pigment retention.
- Apply sparingly; allow the ink to settle into the panel lines naturally, then wipe off excess gently with a lightly moistened swab.
- Unlike enamel liners (e.g. Tamiya), this does not require thinners and has no harsh odor, making it suitable for indoor or low-ventilation environments.
