Do a search for "seal" or "varnish" and you may come up with something as it is a common problem.

In the future don't use GW varnishes (or primers for that matter).

I use Krylon gloss then Dullcote over that. When I bother to varnish at all. I usually just take very good care of my models.

Purity seal is a interesting product. I had a situation occur and lost half a skaven army, served me right for lining up the ENTIRE army in one row and spraying it in 1 go. Came out and looked like white paint.

Since then I no longer use their product for the spray sealers. I talked with a few folks who still use it. They suggest shake the crap out of it, then let it sit for 30 seconds and your good.

Yeah, shake it up A LOT and dont hold the can at an angle when you spray, plus don't spray loads on your mini and you'll be just fine.

The last two cans of GW Chaos Black Primer I've used have been total gak spitting up a bunch of white crud. What's the deal?!! Where's Jervis' standard bearer article on that, eh?

Spray varnish is great fun, you never know what it'll spit out. And the propellant likes to eat your metallics...

Which is why I always use brush-on varnish. Both gloss and matt from GW are brilliant.
