AK Interactive Matte & Ultramatt Varnish

[Marcel111]

Hi guys,

 

I’m thinking of giving the above a try. Anybody have experience with those? Can I use windscreen wiper fluid (which is what I use to thin Tamiya and Gunze) to thin these?

 

I am generally quite wary of using acrylic flat varnishes since I have had some bad experience with frosting. I usually use Modelmaster enamels for the final clear coat but would like to move to an acrylic.

 

Thanks,

Marcel

I'm using them and they are okayish - meaning:
you need a thick coat to get a decent flat finish. Frosting isn't a big issue, happened to me once in the last two years.

I tried to thin them with isopropylic alcohol and that was a mess.

Water with some retarder works but getting a good consitency isn't easy (at least for me).

Long story short:

I'm swithcing back to Tamiya and MRP flats
