Based on prior TMP discussions, I transitioned from Dulcoat to Windsor & Newton professional matte varnish a few years ago. I've been very happy with the performance of the W&N but it has been hard to find of late. I'm happy to report Blick art supplies has standard-sized cans (400 ml) in stock and available for $10.98 USD. Postage is free for a total order over $59. USD I just ordered multiple cans as I don't ever want to run out!

Thanks for the info.

And note that W&N have a professional and general grade varnish. As Gray Bear said, use the professional grade for your finely painted minis.

I agree, you can't beat this product.
Blick Art Supplies is a pleasure to do business with.

I bought a case of 12 last time I ordered just to avoid the issue of hunting around for new cans. Best varnish out there

My varnish of choice for pretty much all occasions.

Had to wait a few weeks on my last order from Blick. They are out, now, and project restock in June according to the website.

CMOT Dibbler has acquired the entire production run for the year to date and is paddling across the pond as we speak!
