I'll try shaking it even more. What I've been doing lately is one coat of polyurethane brushed on, and then a thin coat of the acrylic matte varnish. The kicker with the matte is that the matte medium separates very easily from the acrylic medium, so I've added more acrylic medium to it, specifically lahmian medium from GW. Works like a charm, and gives me a perfect flat finish. <br /><br />The polyurethane is definitely different than the acrylic resin. I had to special order it. Smell them side by side, very different. The polyurethane is supposed to be a lot stronger too, which is probably why it smells like gasoline ;)<br /><br />I'll definitely try shaking the polyurethane more vigorously though, that might do the trick. I do paint it on though, maybe that tends to increase the shininess.

Had 3 or 4 "fog" incidents during my painting career but at this point, I'd be stupid to continue using sprays.<br /><br />In regard of how to recover the paint job, as soon as the "fog" appears try to spray a gloss varnish, this tends to "melt" the matt varnish and its foggy effects.Braxenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09659777580502075412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850353125700177356.post-75020637124714694082014-09-22T03:16:25.612-07:002014-09-22T03:16:25.612-07:00So far, pretty much: shake well before use, the ma...So far, pretty much: shake well before use, the matting agent collects at the bottom of the bottle if you haven't used it in a while, shake to mix it, etc. You can brush it on as well with similar results, but I prefer using it through an (old) airbrush.<br /><br />CdlTChevalier de la Terrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797434491077369704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850353125700177356.post-19599493045952515792014-09-21T20:31:23.316-07:002014-09-21T20:31:23.316-07:00So that is their Polyurethane Matt Varnish not the...So that is their Polyurethane Matt Varnish not the acrylic resin.

I've tried airbrushing the vallejo matte stuff and haven't ever gotten good results. It always seems to go a bit frosty. I haven't found any matte stuff I can airbrush acceptably well. I use Tamiya Model Master Acryl Gloss for gloss airbrushing and have had pretty good results with it.

I hadn't even thought of the cleaning of the airbrush angle. *gurrgle*<br />I know frosting usually occurs when it's humid out (or, say, when it's raining lightly which was my first time experiencing the problem). It seems reasonable that adding water might be the issue. Maybe isopropyl alcohol as the thinner? What did you use to clean your brush besides elbow grease?davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850353125700177356.post-789223491220573932014-09-20T18:04:22.673-07:002014-09-20T18:04:22.673-07:00I wonder if it was the added water?!?
