<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Golden Varnishes, any tips?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Golden Varnishes, any tips?
Have I selected a good varnish for my 40k models or should I return the can and go for something else? My other option, from what I have available at the art supply shop here in town, is a Krylon product, which was a tad less but didn't seem as good... I don't know why though.

Anyways, I'm about to do a test spray on an old Rhino lid. Any tips or tricks for varnishing models?

For application tips, check out the Golden website. It is full of information on all their products and paint in general. It also should have the removal method (most archival varnishes are designed to be removable).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6521977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6521977.page GMT Golden Varnishes, any tips?

In the off chance can't exhange the can for a matte version is there any way to soften the sheen once it's on there?

I suppose I can just wait for the test piece to dry...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6522035.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6522035.page GMT Re:Golden Varnishes, any tips? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6522459.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6522459.page GMT Golden Varnishes, any tips?

You can always spray a matte over it if you like.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6522694.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6522694.page GMT Golden Varnishes, any tips?

Heh, really? You can use that? Cool.

I've been using This Stuff, both matte and satin.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6524205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6524205.page GMT Golden Varnishes, any tips?

Yep tends to fill better in the cracks as well. Back in the day model makers used this stuff because its cheap and last forever. They changed the name a few times. It's called Kleer outside of the USA. I still use it today and love it. $6 and lasts over 6 moths lol. If I want a satin/ matte finish I'll either add some to the spray or just spray the matte/ satin later.

Awesome. I'll have to try that stuff out....


I can't stress the fact to use a respirator and have good ventilation. You don't want any of that stuff in your lungs.

Good Luck]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6526817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578843/6526817.page GMT Re:Golden Varnishes, any tips?
