I tried many varnishes for years. Everything I used ruined my models with a bit of shininess whatever I tried.
So I wish to get something to spray or brush em as a final coat that won't shine at all.
Some people talk about the Army Painter Antishine matt varnish. This comes as a bottle too, has anyone tried this?
Others say that the best is the Winsor & Newton artists(or professional but I find only the artists version around here) matt varnish. It is rather cheap and W&N is a solid company.

I heard from someone that if I mix the vallejo matt varnish with matt medium I will get no shine at all. It is maybe an option...

So who has tried both and can ensure me what will not shine and ruin my highlights?
It will help me so much informing me before buying. Sorry for my grammar mistakes.

I use vallejo matt and gloss, mixed to make a satin. The matt is very matt.

I've seriously never had a problem with Testor's Dullcote (they might call it matte varnish now, not sure..) Aside from the absolutely horrible stench. Seriously... only ever use it outside, and let your models air out for a couple hours before bringing them back in.

Tamiya Flat Clear (TS-80) best matte varnish I have ever used.

Be careful which testors you use. I think I must have bought the wrong type because it ruined my model. It gave it a white frosted look which would disappear when wet, but reappear when dry. Had to repaint the whole damn thing.

I use Vellejo Glaze Medium 70.596. It's the acrylic resin. I use it over my transfer decals. Works better than anything else I've tried. Pretty flawlessly actually. I would be scared to try anything else.

After further investigation I've determined my frosted look was my own damn fault. Should have done some better research before I used the varnish.
