Ok, what product works best? So far, I've only tried one product, Testors Dulcotte all-purpose clear laquer, and while its awesome on paint (I've sealed most of my models with it), it does NOT react well with transfers (well, GW transfers. Custom transfers I've printed out seem to have no issue. Coincidentally, the transfer paper is also from Testors...) I ordered a Valkyrie transfer sheet from Forgeworld, got them all on there nice and pretty and allowed it to dry for 24 hours, and when I sprayed it on there, it started cracking and peeling before my eyes. Half the transfer sheet wasted (and its $12 a sheet...)

I just put GW varish on there w8 for it to dry then wash it in black/brown to take away the shine, works a treat

W8 ? Are we using post codes to communicate now?

I tend to seal with Johnsons Klear/Future when the decal has settled ie after 24hrs
The Testor's Dullcote should then be fine.

Any varnish dullcote will be fine, or just pva glue painted over.

I lay down Future under the decal, apply the decal and let it dry. Then hit it with another coat of Future and let dry. THEN hit it with Dullcote.
