        Not well known that Vellejo produce 3 types of varnish in all 3 types Matt Satin Gloss..

        They produce
        Acrylic
        Polyurethane
        Acrylic Polyurethane.

        The best is undoubtedly Acrylic Polyurethane. But I only use the Matt which is matt matt.

        For Gloss I use the Alclad 11. Had problems with lumps in all the Gloss types Vallejo types
        above. Read that others have had the same experience. OK fresh but seems to deteriorate quickly
        Alclad not a problem & thin compared to Vallejo

          Having ordered and finally used the AK Ultra Matt i can honestly says it does what it says on the bottle. Dries flatter than a flat thing on a flat day. Think this is my new best matt varnish.

            Agree with Laurie about having lumps in, gone over to the Meka and the new AK Gen 3.
            Watched a U Tube video yesterday where Mig Jimenez mentioned that spraying think coats will loose the mat finish, apply in very thin coats .

              I've been using Vallejo Mecha varnish and spray, Matt satin and gloss all seem to go on well and maintain their relevant sheens.
