Hi All,

What do people use to protect their miniatures, I'm looking for a Matt finish.

Vallejo Matte brush on varnish. I prefer brush on to avoid moisture issues with sprays but I’ve heard good things about Testors Dullcote spray.

Testors gloss followed by testors dull cote.

Digger are they spray or brush on.

Ditto.

During the summer, or high humidity days, I use Vallejo Matte brush on varnish.

Spray.... I do not spray on wet or cold days....

2 coats of Marabu Mattlack (matt varnish) applied with a brush. Probably there is enough with one but I prefer the extra protection. There is a spray version of it but I've never tried it.

GW 'Ardcoat followed by Army Painter Anti-Shine, both brush on because I literaly never have weather fit for spray-cans (at least not for varnishes).

What brush do you use, does it damage the brushes.

Army Painter Aegis Suit (spray, I use it pretty heavily), then a light touch of Army Painter Anti-Shine spray if needed.

The Aegis Suit is extremely shiny right when you spray it, then gets a bit flatter over the next day or so.

I use a cheap synthetic brush (currently Army Painters Hobby: Basecoating brush). It doesn't exactly ruin them, but I'd rather be safe than sorry with my good brushes.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

There is also a craft decolage product that brushes on... Something like "diamond cote".... Must keep it thinned enough for ease of brushing, but darned effective.

Winsor&Newton spray
I'd like to use testor but is forbidden in europe
