ive heard that testors is the most matt finished varnish you can buy so i wanna get some. i just wondered if anyone has any advice on using it???
do you apply it straight over the model it after a coat of purity seal etc?
do you paint it on or is it best to use a spray gun?
and if you do use a spray gun would it work with the citadel one?
thanks in advance

Just stir and shake well and brush it on...no need for purity seal, dull coat will do the same job only much much better.I wouldn't bother with spraying it..you'll lose a fair amount of it that way..just pick a mid size brush and away you go.

It is a case of what paints you are using.

Testors can 'eat' away at inks so beware.

I've had a couple of goes and I am settling on a coat of Purity seal then two coats of testors.
On my Merry article I was still in the experimental phase and it didn't really work, but if you check my WIP thread I have used the above method on my 'dead' figures and as you can see the stuff is flawless.

Good luck, though it can be a bit tough to come by. I found some by continually checking Antenociti Workshop and struck lucky one night so I ordered a couple to keep me going.

I have been using testors over a coat of gloss and it has worked well sprayed. Does anyone have experience with the Citadel matt varnish spray can?

ive seen the matt varnish cans before on forums and guides and things but ive never actually seen it in gw or on their webstore is it oop or something.
i have used vallejo matt varnish spray and that works pretty well but its quite easy to put too much on and that gives a satin finish so im prefering to paint varnishes on now
