Great varnish for traditional brush painters
I paint warhammer minis, and I live in a city centre apartment with no garden. I therefore can't use an aerosol spray and don't have the space or the inclination to use an airbrush. This varnish is perfect for those that want to apply varnish to their minis with a traditional brush. It thins down very nicely with water, goes on smoothly and dries quickly. An excellent product.

Good stuff especially for the price
Takes a few coats but gets the job done.Not 100% perfect Matt, but then again what’s perfect these days?

Very pleasantly surprised.
I personally like this varnish. Looks a bit like the old style school pva glue, but it dries well and gives a good finish, although it's not a 100% matt finish. Happy with the product. No complaints.

Works well in an airbrush
The bottle needs a good shake to make it matt and use thinners with an airbrush.

Not very Matte, but a reasonable Varnish
Firstly, if you are looking for a properly Matte varnish don't bother with Vallejo Matt Acrylic Varnish. It really is just a weak Satin finish. AK Interactive Matte and Ultra Matte will give you the finish you want.So with that out of the way while the shine reduction is disappointing for something claiming to be Matt, the Vallejo varnish is otherwise rather good. It goes on easily with a regular brush (I don't use an airbrush for this), it takes a little while to dry so you can work it around your model without getting stroke marks and I have never had a problem with it "frosting" (the hazy white finish that can spoil your hard work).It dries in about 30 minutes per coat providing you don't bucket it on. And even if you do accidentally apply too much it's very forgiving and just takes longer to dry. Multiple coats do not greatly affect the shine reduction, a single coat will give you much the effect as two of more coats.To Sum Up: Not Matte, more Satin. Otherwise very good.

Great for the price
(Applied with a flat brush over Tamiya Acrylic) Not quite Matt, but it covers the surface evenly and dries quick. Water can be added to thin it, though I found it settles well regardless.Extra coats can be applied after letting it cure for 3-4 hours, though I found it didn't change the finish much.Overall, pretty good, especially for the price.
