I've run in to a bit of a problem with my varnish coating,
I sprayed a gloss varnish layer (Mr hobby Mr. Super Clear Gloss)
followed by a matt layer (Mr hobby Mr. Super Clear Flat)

In regions where the gloss accumulates, (corners and between raised areas) the coat dries up
an appears to show air pockets, as shown in the pic below.

notice the zag pattern in the head of the bike?

anyway I can fix this?

This stuff (Mohawk super blush retarder) is great at removing blushing (when moisture / humidity / air is trapped in your finish). It's basically a spirit that will disolve the finish and let it set properly. This works if your finish is already dried but it might take a few applications. Once applied, let it completely dry before applying another coat (if needed).

It's amazing how often this problem comes up and I rarely see this as a solution. If you don't have access to purchasing this (I found it at a cabinet supply company but check local DIY stores) then you can try using Mineral Spirits or White Spirits in small, localized applications with the same results. Just apply via brush to the area once and don't retouch it until it's dried...

Good luck, hope this helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401957/3489477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401957/3489477.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401957/3540234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/401957/3540234.page GMT
