<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Airbrush + Vallejo Varnish = ?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Airbrush + Vallejo Varnish = ? FAQ makes a passing reference to using their polyurethane varnish in an airbrush, but I have the acrylic varnish shown on this page: http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/model-paints/auxiliary-products/3
Or is that the same thing? I'm new to the whole Vallejo Experience.

Yep it works great just make sure the pressure is set right otherwise it will splatter. A way to get around this is to water it down and apply several thin coats.

QFT - Pressure is key with it. I also had the accident were I didnt clean as well as I should have. Spend the better part of the day with the nozzle in acetone.. It wasn't to bad on the brush, I just used a scrubbie brush to clean out the insides.. I find it dries faster, than I would like its hard to see sometimes when your spraying it on..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479084/4816798.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479084/4816798.page GMT Airbrush + Vallejo Varnish = ?
while I'm told they're meant to be sprayed on neat, I thin my vallejo varnishes a bit; maybe 1 part vallejo airbrush thinner to 5 parts varnish. I get better results with this then I do spraying it neat, but ymmv.

word of advice: when using matte, spray it on *very* sparingly. let each coat dry for a few minutes before you hit it again. it's super easy to overdue it and end up with a frosted look. this is less of an issue with satin and gloss.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479084/4818836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479084/4818836.page GMT Airbrush + Vallejo Varnish = ?
Try it on a test model first (could just be a piece of spure with some of your army colors on it).

Best of luck!

Note that varnish tends to collect and dry not just at the bottom-front of the cup but also at the bottom-rear where the needle enters from. If you're not thorough it will clog and may require servicing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479084/4820919.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479084/4820919.page GMT
