varnishes

[hestan101]

hi all, i made a thread about mini protection a while ago, and this is sort of the follow up. i have gw purity seal, will that work as a first layer gloss varnish?
also, could anybody recommend some uk available matte varnishes for dislpay minis over purity seal?
thank in advance

Something in the pot that when you shake it \"Agitates\" the liquid. Off cuts of white metal are generally the best bet as they don\'t oxidise (aka go manky).

As for matt varnish if you look in the General Discussion board a little while before Christmas I believe that Dullcote was available in the UK again.

aye something that agitates and mixes up the contents. a couple of tabs off a metal sprue should do the job nicely

Dullcote brush on is available again.

I\'ll be ordering some once my accountant (wife) releases some funds (pocketmoney).

Antenocities workshop stock it.

Just checked the site, they have the spray on!! Yahoo!!!

A word of warning to Dullcote brush-on users:

If you\'ve used inks on your mini BE CAREFUL!!! Seal the figure first with a spray as it lifts ink and smears it across your paintwork!

I like to use red and yellow inks to glaze stuff back and I knackered a Khador banner I\'d painted with the stuff. Had to completely redo it :evil:
