IanC Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Can anyone recommend a gloss varnish that dries really hard and is capable of a bit of handling? I've been using Humbrol Clear for a while now, and while I'm pleased generally with it I find it seems to stay quite tacky, which can be a problem if I have lots of intricate decals to put on. I had the same problem with Vallejo gloss. If anyone knows of a product that fits the bill I'd love to hear. Thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beard Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) I use the 'new' Future, applied with a wide flat brush. It's a floor Polish so it's pretty tough because people walk on it You'll find a lot of debate about using floor polishes, it might be worth doing an on-line search, to see people's opinions, and testing on an old model before committing to your latest project.
