This is the first time I varnished anything. I must be doing something wrong.

I varnished using GW 'Ardcoat first, let it dry overnight, and tried applying Vallejo Matt Varnish many times after that. I applied it with a brush, thin and thick layers, at least 5-6 layers total over the last few days. I shaked the dropper bottle well, and I could see bubbles caused by shaking on the bottom of the bottle when I flipped it upside down, so there's no residue. The result is still glossy, as far as I can tell as glossy as before.

Am I doing something wrong? Help this noob

General consensus seems to be that it needs to be shaken like you've never shaken anything before... and then shake it a little more for good measure.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/7983402.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/7983402.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/7983605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/7983605.page GMT

Thanks for the advice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8006724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8006724.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8007398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8007398.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8008188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8008188.page GMT to satin in real terms,which is great if you a building plane kits but not so great on minis.
Artist's varnishes(soluble ones) are a lot better. Regardless of how glossy the gloss is,the matt will turn it matt.Really matt. It will leave you scratching your head wondering if you glossed it in the first place!
Give them a try.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8010052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8010052.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8010057.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8010057.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8010065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/656411/8010065.page GMT
