The Loose Association of Wargamers

Just gloss the bloody lot and problem solved!

But a very informative post there, Vex. Ta.

With the Vallejo matt varnish I've found it turns out satin if not mixed properly. Could it be the prep for the airbrush has mixed the varnish more efficiently?

Generally though I use Winsor and Newton Pro spray Matt Varnish, which I've found excellent.

Thanks Martin, that’s all rather informative!

That’s your Sunday afternoon sorted! We expect a report back before bed time!

In summary. There is ony one matt varnish, testors dullkote; all else is apostasy.

It was difficult (and expensive) to get in th UK a while back so wasn't an option then. I don't know if the situation has chnaged now.

I think it has a happy medium.

Have you noticed that it takes more than one coat to get a truly solid shine?
