Id be interested to hear peoples thoughts on applying matt varnish.
Id feel more confident applying varnish with my airbrush but will it clog the nozzle?
Also seem to remember reading in a forum somewhere about spraying the rattlecan into an airbrush jar and then spraying it on.
Comments/thoughts please.

i use the airbrush,just make sure you clean it out after you have finished.dont use the can as this could result in the nozzel getting clogged and the varnish starts to spitt out.sounds like your using testors dull-cote?

I have a rattlecan of Humbrol sitting on the shelf wondering why I am looking at it so strangely

I use strictly acrylics through the airbrush, and use testors dull coat from a rattle can.
I have considered trying to 'flatten' future and AB it for a matt coat, just haven't tried it yet.
