I have AK Interactive's range of acrylic varnishes: Gloss, Satin and Matte.
I have a big issue with them actually not working as intended, especially the gloss. Their coverage is incredibly poor and I feel I need 10 coats to achieve a good coat.
The gloss is alright to use out of the bottle, but satin and matte are both incredibly thick, but I still thin all 3 with water/thinner before I airbrush them.
Once I do manage to thin them, when I airbrush they have very bad coverage and really don't act like they're supposed to. I can spray a thin layer of gloss (so I don't spray one thick coat) and I can wait for 2 weeks for it to dry. I have finished a Me410 a month ago that I sprayed with the gloss coat, and not only could I only do one thin coat, that thin coat is *still* tacky to the touch right now.
What on fucking earth is going on here? I might as well sell them on eBay and get something better.
I've been looking at Mr Colour/Mr Hobby lacquer super gloss, but I don't know what to use to thin it since the majority of my stuff is acrylic. There's so many variations of their gloss too, and I don't know which one is acrylic and which one is lacquer.
I just want a good gloss varnish for fucks sake.
