Hey guys just had a quick question, one of my friends asked me to spray his figures with some satin varnish from vallejo but he has already flocked his bases with the GW grasses and I wanted to know how it would react to getting sprayed with a varnish. Really all I want to know is whether or not I can be lazy and just spray them with the varnish, base and all or if I have to cover up the grass before I start spraying.
Normally not a problem. Make sure they haven't accumulated dust/pet hair since they were finished though. Varnish can settle on things which are hard to see and make them very noticeable.
Other than that - some people actually use a varnish coat as a bit of added insurance to keep static grass in place. Doesn't normally change the look of it at all - just provides it with a bit more stick.
