hi all, can anyone recommend a good matt varnish? Preferably a brush on. I have some extremely shiny Germans (plastics by the way) in need of flattening down. |

I've always found the bottled Humbrol matt varnish to be reliable. For some reason the tinlet variety is more variable, so should be avoided. |

I've had a lot of success with Winsor & Newton Galeria matt varnish (I get it from Art suppliers)and found it better than Humbrol without brush cleaning issues (it's a brushon acrylic) It does need a very good shake to mix before use as the matting agent does tend to settle a bit |
