Does anyone know of a supplier for Dullcote in the UK?

Failing that , what would people recommend for a matt varnish? I'm using Xtracrylix matt varnish, but the finish is sometimes more satin than matt, so I'm hoping for a better alternative.

TIA

Hi,

Can the UK shop export to Singapore? understand that the shops in US cant do that. My local shop is out and will take quite a while to replendish, and my projects are hanging drying waiting for quite a while.

Advice, pls, thanks!

Cheers!

Hi Dan,
You can also order this product directly from USA, for example:

Great Models Webstore

Click on Search then type on Dullcote and click on search button.

I sent sometimes my orders to Great Models Store-USA, almost for the paint, thinner, varnish, etc. those that I can not buy by out of stock or too expensive in France. The last order was Testors paint, Microscale decal liquid, thinner, varnish and some of spray can... These "flammable" items I reveived without problem.

Try to ask for your HLS on Orchard Road or Orchard Plaza, Singapore, there is a lot of hobby shops, if they sell Italeri or Testors products, they will help you to get the Testors Dullcote.

I saw on a website recently that Dullcote in bottles is discontinued and will only be sold as aerosols. Can't remember the website but it's a bit of a bummer if true as I'm down to my last 4 bottles (all over 3 years old and working lovely for those that say it deteriorates).
Time to track down the last supplies as I love it.
