Matt Varnish suitable for over coating Enamel

[Karl]

Hi chaps,

I've been using Humbrol Clear Cote Matt (the non-yellowing stuff) for years. Although it works perfectly in the looks department I find that if I handle the model it becomes a bit sticky-tacky to the touch as if its not dry, even though I'm sure it is. I usually apply it by air-brush in light coats.

Is this normal? If not, what am I doing wrong?

Second, what matt varnish would you recommend that I can apply over enamel that won't yellow and actually dries hard!

Thanks guys.

Hi Karl,

I use that stuff quite a lot and have had no problems with tackiness at all. What are you thinning it with?

Hi,

White spirit for thinning.

Its not that it does not dry; to the touch it is dry, however when holding the model it starts to feel tacky after a minute or so of handling. My hands are quite 'hot' most of the time so not sure if it has anything to do with that..
