Somewhere in south-central England.

I think the problem with the Tamiya flatting agent was that it is meant to be mixed with paint not varnish.

If you look at Acrylic media, most types are designed for use by themselves or mixed with paint.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

If you spray the "white" with Zipkicker, it will fix your problem

Thanks for making an article about this occurence . It will help other people who it happens to know they're not crazy!

Can your "volunteer" figure (or another) be frosted over again, and sprayed with Zip Kicker, as frgsinwntr suggests? I've heard that works, but it'd be nice to see it demonstrated as clearly as you did with the Future Floor Wax method.

Get a can of "Armory Clear Matte Sealer".

It successfully takes away the shine from either future or wood stain dipping; and gives your paint job an invisible protective coating.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I forgot to mention Armory Clear Matte Sealer is a spray can. The spray can keeps you from having to slowly dull your models out one at a time.

It was only $5.95 at the FLGS, and the Warstore sells it too.

Am I missing something?

When I read the words "Brush-On Flat Coat" is this referring to:
-the the very fist layer as a replacement for a Primer coat?
-a way to tone-down a super-glossy finish coat?

I would love to get away from having to use spray cans of Primer coat for environmental and health reasons.

You're supposed to mix the Tamiya X21 flat with anything to make that anything flat.

As a matte varnish, it is generally used with 1 parts X21 for 3 parts Future or thereabouts.

And yes this is profound necroing, but then Dakka told me to look at this article.
