No worries Johnny,

 

Glad to help. 

 

Kleer is now called Pledge Mutisurface Polish. It is now cloudy but dries clear. It is what has been used on 7827.

 

It costs around the £7.00 mark for a large bottle.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark 

 

Thanks Mark, 

Did you spray yours on please mate? - I recall that you said it can be sprayed or brushed on. 

Thanks again

Morning B10M,

 

Many recognised modellers use Kleer as a varnish or setting solution for transfers.

 

I have used it over a long time with no problems with regards to permanency or handling.

 

It dries streak free and can be brush applied or sprayed. I do spray Valejo or Tamiya varnish over it to matt it down.

 

However I always use water based paints. I would not recommend applying enamels paints of varnish over them just in case there was a reaction between the two products.

 

All I would say is experiment on something old and see how you get on before attacking your best model.

 

Cheers,

Hi Mark,

Many thanks indeed, will look into getting some. I've long used humbrol spray varnish but it's quite often, far too thick.

Thanks again

Cheers, Johnny

Hi 46444, good work on the Manor sir!

Just a quick question in regards to the Johnson's kleer, as to how permanent it is / can it withstand being handled etc? I've never used it myself see but fed up with varnishing loco's.

Thanks in advance!
