Those two are used to get decals to sit down on the surface. I think they make a masking product, and I have clear water based varnishes from them, gloss, satin and flat. They brush very well. Not surprising, as I live in Burbank, CA, it is readily available in my hobbyshop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow the Microscale products sound good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hal Nail Posted July 9 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 9 So to be clear, the transfers are still lifting off even after varnishing over them? I've occasionally had the odd transfer that was reluctant to stick but never after then sealing them on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the brave only - apply waterslide transfers into wet Klear, but don't spend too much time fiddling around to get the positioning correct! No chance of air trapped behind the carrier film that way. CJI. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
