What's actually wrong with Klear varnish

[Guest]

Paul I concur with them. Tried airbrushing the stuff once & felt ill for a couple of hours even though I was wearing, at the time of airbrushing, a the correct good quality nose filter.

May not be scientific but as in the taste buds you reject certain substances (beer is an exception) so with the "smell" senses I am always wary of smelly substances (camembert excepted).

Interesting that it is OK swilling a load around over the floor where it dries in the air but not to airbrush it. Suppose it is diluted in the floor use. Also interesting that they changed the Klear mixture from original to new love to know why.

So must go. Back to airbrushing a few bits with Vallejo Varnish :cool2:

i remember hearing a story a few years ago, think it was one of the modelling mags, where the mag approached Kleers manufacturers to talk about how their product has this alternative use in our hobby. they were very interested and wanted to know more as it could open a new line of sales, the mag proceeded to tell them how we used it and they were horrified that people airbrush it. the H&S implications made them run a mile and want nothing more to do with the mag

Somebody should tell their H&S department that shiny floors are slippery - and therefore constitute a health hazard! :lol
