Acrylic matt varnish?

[JR]

Dave you won't go wrong with the Ultra, would advise a really good stir and shake. I've tried just about every one, Galeria is good as well .
I strain mine now through a old pop sock stolen from Mrs R:smiling3:

I’d like to try the Daler Rowney, but it appears there are several types...can someone post a picture of the bottle so I buy the right one.....
cheers

Just ordering some AK Ultra too on the back of this thread to see what it's like. I do like my Hannants Matt so it'll be interesting to do a side by side test.

What do you use to thin it, water or IPA?

Well as IPA is a great paint stripper it depends on the paint film.

Question to be asked why do you need to thin. If you use any of the Vallejo varnishes you airbrush straight from the bottle.
I would have thought that water could provide air bubbles. If airbrushing best to use a product prepared for just that.

As always best to consult the manufacturer.

For those of you that use this matt product, which gloss varnish do you prefer? The Daler Rowney or some other product? Like others, I apply two or more gloss coats before applying decals then apply a satin or matt varnish to suit. After a number of mishaps I prefer not to mix brands when doing so.

For gloss i still use Klear. I mix and match brands and have never had a problem.

Hi Murfie.
For gloss I always use Tamiya x22 clear but I only use it through an airbrush.

Thanks Alan and Ralph. Feedback much appreciated.

As a figure painter I don't use much other than the matt varnish. However for a soft sheen on leather and a high shine on cap peaks etc I use Vallejo Model Colour Satin and Gloss - their Matt is hopeless though.

Windsor & Newton Galleria comes in Matt and gloss, and can be mixed for satin. Can be sprayed neat or thinned with IPA.
