for what it is worth, i always spray my models with varnish, never brush it on, always mix it well and i thin it down before spraying about 50% varnish, and 50% thinners, i usually use matt coat or similar on small parts, however i dont spray large items with ' modellers varnish' -also be carefull as i have heard of some model varnishes that ' yellow' parts.... i have been lucky and never found i suffer with that issue..... YET !!!!!

i use alot of automotice style cellulose paints when spraying larger items ( boat hulls, superstructures and similar- the colours are endless and you can match pantones easier that way :-)
and so i buy a specialist matt varnish/ laquer style top coat that is also automotive cellulose style.......
so i am not the best person to ask if you plan to use varnish from your local model
store- but good luck anyway
