MTN Gloss Varnish 300ml Water Based Spray Paint

Product Information

This is a good question that arises from traditional art methods. For a 2D canvas painting, an “isolation” varnish coat is useful for long-term preservation of acrylic paintings. An isolation coat is usually a gloss medium and a permanent non-removable sealant that physical protects the paint surface from overlying varnishes. An isolation coat helps protect the painted canvas if there is every a need to clean or conserve the painting in the future. General Finishes water-based products can be sprayed through compressed air, HVLP, airless or C.A.S. units. This makes them much more environmentally friendly as water based formulas contribute less to greenhouse gas emissions. 3. Little to no odour Historically, solvent-based products have out-performed water-based, but technology has moved on, and there are plenty of high-performing alternatives on the market. Initially on launch water based took longer to dry than solvent based paints especially in high humidity and lower temperatures. As water based technology is increasing this drying gap has been reduced to virtually the same as solvents and water based paints do es have the advantage of retaining sheen throughout its lifetime.

Very good adherence to wood, rope, methacrylate, cork, polystyrene, carbon steel and stainless steel. Disadvantage of water-based varnishes: The disadvantage of water-based varnishes is that they are essentially acrylic mediums (with suspended dry particulates). This means they aren’t very different in composition to the paint you used to paint your miniatures. So, the varnish won’t be as durable or long-lasting as an enamel-based spray varnish like Testors Dullcote. It can be relatively easy to rub-off a water-based varnish (just soak a cotton tip in water and scrub). You don’t need a gloss varnish to improve the protective qualities of a matte varnish. But, an isolation coat with a gloss varnish can prevent “frosting” of a matte varnish. Ensure proper ambient conditions to reduce the risk of a matte varnish clouding over a painted model. Don’t fret, however, a miniature with a poorly applied varnish can be restored with a few simple steps.Solvent based paints are more tolerant of adverse weather conditions during the curing process. Water-based paints take longer to dry in high humidity and lower temperatures. This is the only detailed article about best practices on miniature varnishes I found and I very appreciate the information it gives. Although I found one of your suggestions to be misleading. You say: Water moisture in the air can also interact with the solvent from your matte varnish spray as it travels toward your model, creating an uneven coated surface New Luxury & Gift Brands A-Z Kids Clearance Online Gift Vouchers Newsletter Stores Online Exclusives

After a little time has elapsed, wipe off the oil with a clean paper cloth. Most the transparency should have returned to the miniature. You can carefully wipe off the oil from the model with a dampened paper towel with soap and water (do not soak the miniature). Keep your gun at a 90* angle, 6-8" from the surface. On large flat areas, use wet, even patterns 6 to 8 wide. For narrow surfaces, reduce the fan pattern to 2-3" to reduce overspray. For topcoats, overlap each pass 25% to conceal lines.This year Pintyplus has launched Pintyplus Evolution Water Based, an acrylic paint in bright RAL colors with excellent performance.

Parents have long avoided letting their children use spray paint as most contain harmful chemicals that are toxic when inhaled. No, water based is not graded as harmful or hazardous in the same way that solvent based paints are and is therefore not regulated in the same way. Spray two thin layers at intervals of at least 12 hours, and ensure that the paint is dust free and dry to the touch before application of the second coat. Allow the paint to dry for at least 48 hours for acrylic and for 6-12 months for oil paintings before application. Always spray in thin cross-layers at a distance of approximately 20cm from the surface. If possible, lay your painting flat for the best application possible. Softwoods such as Pine absorb stain at an uneven rate and may respond better to staining if the wood is pre-sealed. General Finishes Pre-Stain Conditioner Natural can be applied to raw wood to condition the surface for uniform penetration of the stain. Pre-sealing will cause the final stain to be lighter so you may need to use a darker color. Always test your color on a hidden part of the furniture. Allow the Pre-Stain Conditioner to dry 30 minutes before applying your final stain color.

Water based spray paint doesn’t let off toxic fumes and nasty chemicals like traditional solvent based formulas do. Water based spray paint has been described as the future of spray paint by many artists and hobbyists alike. Water based formulas like MTN Water Based allow children to get creative with spray paint whilst also being safe. Plus, water based spray paint can be washed away before it dries, so there’s less risk of mess. Not all water-based paints are low in VOCs, but the VOC 'count' is as low as possible. Which means fewer irritants and fewer irritations for you. Making decorating less harmful for both you and the environment. Compared to solvent based paints the VOC reduction is considerable. Water based formulas are generally less resistant to the elements compared to chemical based formulas found in traditional spray paint.

Water based paints have far fewer VOC's but they still have some. Therefore although far less than solvent paints water based paint fumes can be considered safe after 2-3 days maximum. A low-cost hair dryer removes ambient moisture and warms the models, which reduces the chance that water on the surface of the model will disrupt the spray application of the matte varnish. Solvent-based gloss finishes have a higher sheen, but water-based keeps its sheen better throughout its lifetime. Many see water based formulas as the future of spray paint. So it’s likely only a matter of time once manufacturers are able to negotiate cheaper production costs and pass them down to the consumer. Top tips for using water based spray paint Water based spray paint is much more expensive than cheaper solvent based formulas. This makes it less of an option for artists who are spray painting on a budget.When buying partner items like this one, your contract of sale will be with our Range Plus Partner instead of us.
