I know that many people swear by Testors Dullcote when it comes to a flat matt varnish, but has anyone here had any experience with Mr Super Clear UV flat varnish?
After doing some research I see that its considered the top tier product in the Doll making world, with Testors Dullcote being secondary, but I can barely find anything about it when it comes to war gaming and miniature forums.
Is there a reason why this isn't used as much as Dullcote when it comes to the mini world other than availability (Mr Surface Clear being from Japan and all)?
Basically, I have some Heresy Blood Angels marines that I want to coat so I can game with them without worrying about damaging them. I hit them first with Vallejo Gloss through the airbrush, and now I want to flatten that gloss with a good matt varnish. After trying Vallejo matt and Army Painter anti shine, I'm not very satisfied with either so I'm looking for a good alternative to those.
Another question I have is how safe is it to use Mr Surface Clear or Testors Dullcote over an acrylic based varnish such as Vallejo Gloss varnish? Are there any precautions I have to take so the interaction between the two doesn't damage the paint job?
All that being said, are there any other flat matt varnishes you would recommend. I hear that W&N Proffesional matt is great too, but I'm having trouble finding a can where I live.
