Yo guys!

Got a kind of problem today. I decided to varnish my flames of war stuff so I picked Matt UV Varnish from Winsor & Newton and apply it thinly on one of my models for a test.

Well, it's shines now instead for being matt must says :mrgreen:

How long would it take to dry out completely (so far it's around 3 hours since varnishing)?
I was expecting different outcome to be honest and dunno what the hell is wrong...

cheers for help/suggestions

Sounds like its still wet and/or applied too thickly. Tbh the best way to achieve a genuinly matted finish is with spray varnishes. Acess to an airbrush to spray your W&N varnish?
