				<title>AK Interactive Varnish and Wraithbone Alternative</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi, as my Wraithbone spray dwindles neither my <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(211);'>LGS</span> nor <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> currently has the spray in stock. Does anybody know a good alternative light-yellowish-white spray that works well with contrast paint?<br /> Edit: I already tried Army painter Skeleton Bone, its too dark.<br /> <br /> And a related spraying question: I tried <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GWs</span> Munitorum Varnish once on painted minis and was quite underwelmed as afterwards the colors looked really dull even a bit grey-tinted (maybe I used too much). Does anybody have experience with AK Interactive Varnish he/she could share?]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Afraid I can't help much on the spray - I just prime automotive grey and then airbrush.<br /> <br /> But for the varnish I'm a big fan of AK Ultra Matte (again, applied via airbrush). I wanted to get my minis as matte as they would go, and I wasn't satisfied with the Army Painter (so-called) Anti-Shine rattlecans, which definitely seemed to be more satin to my eyes and had a noticeable shine. I'd head good things about the AK Ultra Matte so once I'd bought an airbrush I decided to try it, and it was just what I'd hoped it would be. Oddly what took me a little while to get used to was the slightly 'waxy' feel that it gives models, but I don't really notice that any more. I haven't tried their other finishes (matte, satin, glossy), nor the 3rd <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(44);'>gen</span> versions, but based on that experience I'd expect them to be nice to use and to match the advertised finish. More recently I picked up a 500ml bottle of Vallejo Matt. I picked it up when AK launched that spectacularly ill-judged advertising campaign for their genocide diorama book. It motivated me to look for alternatives; I wasn't sure what impact the fallout of that whole mess would have on their company and I figured it might be harder to get their stuff in the <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(134);'>UK</span> after Brexit anyway (my previous order had been direct from Spain, and while there are <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(134);'>UK</span> stockists, there aren't that many of them). So I picked up the big Vallejo bottle which was a lot cheaper per <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(328);'>ml</span>, and it's also thicker so each <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(328);'>ml</span> goes further when thinned. It's nicely matte too and I'm sure I'd be happy if that was the only varnish I'd used, but I do love the Ultra Matte finish and I'm stocked up with 6 bottles, so a couple of coats of Vallejo and then an Ultra Matte on top has become my go-to.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Thanks for all that info.<br /> <br /> I realize I should clarify: I'm looking for a spray to protect the mini. I was thinking about this here:<br /> <a href="https://ak-interactive.com/product/protective-varnish-spray/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://ak-interactive.com/product/protective-varnish-spray/</a><br /> <br /> Following your advice, I guess I will just give it a try and test it out on some "not my best" minis first.]]></description>
