Hi

One of the best flat varnishes is the one sold by xtracolor, that gives a lovely flat coat without all the milky effect that you often get with flat coats.

I use MM flat clear. I've never had it turn "milky" on me and have used it straight from the bottle. Another option that I have no experience with is to decant some matte from spray cans. I have decanted paint from spray cans of other colors with great success. I'm just not sure if it will turn milky on you.

Been using Model Master Dullcoat since it came out a million years ago. It's lacquer based so use in a well ventilated area.
