SunThirster Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi all Ive just sprayed some purity seal on my marines and as they've started to dry, it looks as though they've been dusted with white powder! The varnish hasnt dried clear but very cloudy.. Does this mean ive applied to much onto them? This is my first time using a varnish, i was particuarly proud of my latest paint jobs and it looks like ive gone and ruined them Any advice is appreciated, Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Unfortunatelly, the only advice I can give you is: don't bother with GW's varnish. I've had a lot of 'cloudy' minis in the past, and I have now moved on to artist's varnishes, never to turn back to the GW stuff. I've heared a lot of good things about Testor's varnishes as well, although I haven't tried them myself. As for what caused the fuzzyness: you either sprayed away from too far away, or the atmospheric conditions were less then optimal, the GW varnish is very nitpicky about that stuff. There are some FAQs somewhere in these forums that tell you how to eliminate the most of the fuzzyness/whiteness I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Does this mean ive applied to much onto them?Not necessarily, it could be a bad batch, humidity, you didn't shake the can enough, etc etc. But, take a look here: link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todosi Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Throw that can away and buy a can of Testor's Dullcote. A reapplication of a decent varnish should take care of your problem. I recommend brushing on a coat of gloss (I use Future) and let it dry overnight. Then hit it with a light coat of Dullcote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
