Hi Any recommendations for a brush on satin varnish which has a slight sheen – not too glossy? |

Don't know if you can get this in the UK, but I've used Delta Ceramcoat matte interior varnish with good success. It gives a slight sheen to the surface. I also have Liquitex professional matte varnish but haven't used it yet. Jim |

Michael, After I submitted my above response, I dug out a couple of figures and tried the two matte varnishes. Both look almost exactly the same. There is a slight sheen but not glaringly so. I originally panted the figures with craft acrylic paints in the same color scheme. So whichever one you can get should meet your requirements. And either would be less expensive per 'ounce' than Vallejo. Jim |

Thanks, everyone for your suggestions, and Jim for going the extra mile and doing an experiment! |
