Quick Tip 4: Using Varnish to Save Frosted Minis

[@TheSpectralFX]

For the frosted minis, I would say its very important to be on the safer side when spraying with a rattlecan (which I think is the case for a lot of painters experiencing this). Many painters gain a habit of cheating their spray distance a tiny bit closer with a rattlecan of primer to save that one extra coat to get better coverage in their first and second pass... its a fine line to walk on, but the primer cans usually don't punish this too hard you are starting the painting process anyways so starting over isn't even a big deal if needed. on a varnish to seal your hard work... its the ABSOLUTE opposite... a painter with a rattle can should allow themselves some extra distance to get the tip of the '"mist" onto the model instead. one should also allow a full 24 hour and do 3 coats, its way better to spend money on a few rattlecans of varnish than mess up your projects and have to start over from scratch to correct a messed up model. Also there is a misconception with varnishes, as long as you hit a varnish that is good for plastic/acrylic paint... those cans at the hardward stores will usually work just fine... there is no need to pay Citadel 20 bucks for a can of an equivalent product that is cheaper elsewhere... do test on something that does not matter as much to confirm that the "look" is what you want however... a varnish is a varnish.
