colin:
with you all the way Mark... ^^^
i use a different Satin Varnish, from a DIY store in Germany, but they have gone bust so will have to look for another supply..
the yellowing effect is what i am after..!

Interesting on the Johnson's Klear - I only ever used it on shoes before... I used Humbrol clearfix on glazing but it's awfully gloopy so I'll give the Klear and superglue a shot. And on the hull - I'll post to let others know if it works on and under under enamel. Don't like acrylic but that's just me.

Does the varnish work on enamel? Some do, some don't. If it does, which one is it?

I know a lot of people spray varnish over the finished model, and of course each to there own every time, but I have never understood the need to do this, all of my boats are painted with acrylics they have been in water many times and been toted around many exhibitions the oldest one is about 4 years old and they all look the same as the day I finished them ::DD

Many modellers have been using Klear to improve the look of transparency parts e.g. cockpit canopies on a/c
If you dip the part briefly in Klear, allow the excess to run off and then allow to air dry it makes clear parts look clearer!
NB make sure you dry the part under cover e.g. a plastic tub of some sort otherwise the dipped object becomes a dust magnet!

Thanks Troy - I'll give it a shot and see what happens
Joe - it worked a treat covering up some yucky brush marks a few years ago and I guess it just became a habit. My experience (limited) is that enamel holds dirt more easily and varnish solves that problem - as long as you like yellow!
