micklner Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Basically a quick duck and a dive and they sent another can of the same stuff. They will be telling their quality dept !!. Personally it wont be used ever again as I cant trust the end result. I have now got a can of the Halfords Satin version and will report back when used.

RMweb Premium Brit70053 Posted November 29, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2016 So pretty much what you'd expect these days, a raft of corporate speak meaning 'like it or lump it, that's what you're getting' ? I'll be interested to hear how the Halfords product works out. Thanks, John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Also interested in the Halfords satin lacquer as I need to invest in a new can shortly so this is very timely. I am lucky in having a large Halfords just down the road so hopefully they will have it in stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this for my can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcyg Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Does anyone know if the guys who model the Games Workshop/War Hammer stuff have been getting similar problems? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yes. Google some of the forums they use, you'll soon find plenty of complaints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Not used the Halford's satin yet, but do like their gloss. For matt and satin I use Tamiya, the down side is they cost as much as Halford's, but only 1/4 the size. I always put the subject and the can on a shelf over a radiator. Avoid spraying in humid conditions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted December 21, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 21, 2016 Used the Halfords satin varnish for the first time this afternoon, looks very good so far but will check again once dry... What's the best way to keep the nossel clear to get the most use out of it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Just used the satin varnish on an Imperial Knight I have finished and I am very pleased with the results, even in cold weather. A smooth, even finish with no sign of blooming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pom-pom Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I can't see any mention of Humbrol's satin spray acrylic varnish No. 135 on here. Have I just said a dirty word or has it been overlooked? Regards, Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_parkes Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Simple, I find Airbrushing a real pain especially in a shed in winter , the boss would never allow one to be used indoors !! Has anybody got a recommendation re other Aerosol makes for a subtle Satin finish please. I have already read Humbrol being slated elsewhere. I have found the following aerosols so far Windsor & Newton, Montana and Liquitex all do a Satin version . Mick I have used Humbrol satin varnish without a problem. Actually used it two nights ago, it has dried beautifully, but as suggested, it was applied indoors at room temperature, and well shaken before use. It was sprayed over automotive satin black spray to seal press-fix transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
