    Spraying Varnish


    ==What pressure should I use for Vallejo Gloss Varnish 70.510 (in PSI please) ?

    == How much Vallejo "Airbrush Thinner" 71.161 New Formula" (Varnish/Thinner, or % thinner) ?

    == Is that the correct thinner ?

    == Should the varnish immediately after spraying look shiny and wet?

    My needle is 0.5 mm

    (I am having problems spraying varnish and need to get the above info right.)

    Thanks

      I use 20 psi for Vallejo varnish with a 0.3 needle.

      I use about 10% thinner

      Yes it looks shiny and wet. Best built up in very thin layers (I find)

      My airbrush always gets clogged after using this stuff - needs a deep clean each time.

      Others will probably offer different advice. It's very subjective.

      Best wishes

          I use a pressure of 18 with a .4 needle/nozzle. Harder & Steinbeck Brush.

          Thinner, for my last episode did not use thinner. Do not think I have ever used thinners with any of their varnishes as they all work well from the bottle.

          Sometimes I get to near shinny & wet & then leave. Think that you have gone to far. But Vallejo is very considerate. Go further & you will get tear drops.

          Better more & thinner coats. But test for yourself Steve on a plastic bottle.

          I have found varnish to be very easy & not had any problems other than a duff Vallejo batch.

          Problems I encountered early on were to make sure I cleaned the brush well immediately after use.

                      Aidan. Youch.

                      No just English I think perhaps bit old fashioned now.

                      Something unusual happens & you are surprised : Youch. Or you fall over & hurt your bum you say Youch.

                      Very expressive way of expressing yourself rather than an expletive. Youch I am going on here.

                      Laurie

                      PS did I really call you a nutter. Youch.
