I was wondering if you could recommend a good non-yellowing range of varnish, both matt and gloss. I am using Humbrol at the moment and it has a very distinct yellow tinge even when in the tinlet. Will be using it in the normal two coats (gloss ready for transfers, matt\satin to seal) so I'm willing to pay a bit more to get the best varnish which will 'grow old gracefully' rather than ruining my models!
Is the Phoenix ready-thinned range any good? Would you consider it good value buying ready thinned?
Also,
What experience have people had with chemical blackening products? I am looking at the Carrs range, any good? Is it good enough to brush these on, or is it ideal for the item to be dipped in it? I would want to touch in the pickups on new Farish locos (safe without disassembling?) as well as treating areas prone to chipping before painting brass kits.
Many thanks, Justin Colson
