On the varnish Doug I also keep the brush moving all the time backwards and forwards which I think will help on the orange peel effect. I use the brush about 150mm from the surface for varnish work.ie 150 is not a hard and fast rule just for me for varnish work.\ said:Thanks for these tips, Laurie. I'll try the wet/dry 'keying' trick. I decided to thin the varnish originally because I was getting the dreaded 'sandpaper' effect with the gloss, and because it just looked too thick - not like milk. It did work fine for me when thinned, even without additional coats, so maybe there are multiple methods of flaying a feline... Clogging wasn't a problem - my needle is 3.5. I'll have a go at upping the psi and using it neat, to see which I prefer. Always good to get new ideas.
