Varnishing and finishing advice

[macybrok]

Hi

Anyone have any experience of Microscale Micro Gloss Varnish and Microscale Micro Flat Varnish?

Just finished painting up my A-10 and need to apply a varnish before going any further.

Cheers

Phil

Hi phil , my own experience of microscale flat is that its not very flat, being more like a satin finish when i sprayed it. Ive found the vallejo matt ,thinned with distilled water and misted on to be a nice matt finish. hope this helps cheers tony

Sorry to hiijack but I've bought a bottle of Xtracrylix Satin Varnish - off the forum shop no less - anyone give me any tips on how to apply it? Neat or thinned? If thinned with what etc etc? Got an airbrush which I presume I would use.

If the remaining stock of "Klear" wasn't being sold off stupidly expensively I'd get some of that but not prepared to pay £20+ for it even if it would work out cheaper in the long run!

I got the impression the jury was out on the new stuff? Am I mistaken?
