Necrotique:
Anyhow, as the title suggests, I’m looking for some Purity Seal or varnish (spray-on) to protect my titans’ paint jobs from chipping.
I live in Australia, so importing anything from outside AU is pretty much out of the question due to Customs.
:cheers
Abecedar:
Try a GW outlet. that’s where I bought some when I first started (and haven’t used yet at all)
mind you since then, 3 years, I haven’t looked for the stuff in any of the shops because I haven’t used it.
Vogon:
If you have any hobby shops in Australia (Hobbycraft in the UK, Michael’s in the USA) you should be able to pick up a decent spray matt varnish. I’ve tried Plastikote silk before and it’s a bit shiny (so slimy looking) but not quite as bad as gloss.
I’ve yet to try their matt but after the recent disaster with GW purity spray I shan’t be buying any more of that any time soon.
Cheers

Uncle Fool:
Living in the Top End, I’ve found that Purity Seal tends to leave a white opaic finish, totally ruining you’re hard work. If I do put a finish on my minis I tend to use “Microscale Ind, Micro flat”. I get mine on ebay. Not as convienient as a spray, but a little in a pallet and a drop or two of water mixed in and it gives quite a good finish without too much sheen, also it is non yellowing. It’s not ideal but it’s the best of the whole heap I’ve tried so far.:cheers
Abecedar:
I haven’t used the purity because of the possible shiny effect, don’t know if I want or like it. and at least Uncle Fool’s solution can be sent to you through the post unlike aerosol spray cans.
