Bummer, i f**ked up with the varnish

[nine lives]

Well, long story short. It got glossy as hell, looks pretty bad actually... Got no one to blame but myself, i held the spray can to close. So, i wonder, is there any tips on what u can do to make it a bit less shiny?

Guess the good news is that the mini won\'t chip paint any time soon on the tabletop.

What varnish do you use? A a couple of layers of Dullcoat will remove the shine.

I used gw purity seal. Is dull coat a gw product? Spraycan? Not sure if the local retailer has got other spraycans than gw-ones.

Preferably i would like to use some sort of \"brush-on\" product if there is anyone, \'cause then i can go ahead and put on the static grass right away.

Testors Dullcoat comes in a brush on and is so far the best varnish I have ever used. If you can get your hands on that its what you want, and should be easy to get anywhere models and model paints are sold.

No, Dullcoat is made by Testor\'s. It comes in both spray and brush-on. If you can\'t get it it can be worth trying Humbrol\'s matte brush-on varnish as I\'ve heard it\'s pretty good.

Purity seal is not matte at all... it\'s satin (sort of semi-gloss).

Well, thanks for the help. I\'ll have to see if i can find some way of getting that dullcoat then.

Cheers!

If you\'re ever in Stockholm you should pop by Wentzel\'s Hobby as they usually have it in stock.

Vallejo\'s matte brush on is pretty good aswell.
