I wonder if going back over it with a gloss varnish would work? I'm mostly curious, I've decided I need to seal them before water effects are applied. The thing is, I'm pretty sure that I'll want to add the the paint job. In this case, I guess I'd just put putty over the water effects bits, but it's going to be complicated.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5375868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5375868.page GMT How does matte varnish affect water effects?
Whether something appears glossy or matte is usually just a property of the surface either directly reflecting/transmitting light or diffusing/absorbing light, I know the resins I typically work with go on clear and glossy, but as you sand them they get all scratched and stuff and you can no longer clearly see the carbon fibre underneath, but then if you give it a coat of clear or even just wet it, it looks glossy again and you can once again see the carbon finish below the resin.

Whether the same applies to varnish, I dunno, I think it would.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5375932.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5375932.page GMT How does matte varnish affect water effects?
They won't have that water effect shine if you seal them with matte varnish, after applying the water effects.

IF you do think you need to do it that way, just cover the water effects with some Blu-Tac or something of the sort, and it should be fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5375988.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5375988.page GMT Re:How does matte varnish affect water effects? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5376255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/513229/5376255.page GMT
