VARNISH: I HIGHLY recommend shelling out the additional cash for the GW Purity Seal. Armory brand is good too and a little more matte. GW Purity seal has a tiny bit of shine (which I like). MAKE SURE you spray in a close to room temperature location (!!!!) and that you spray horizontally. If the spray can or the air is too cold, the matting agent will turn while and make your model cloudy. This can also happen if you are spraying at an angle. Make sure you do it horizontally, don't spray too much, use some distance between your can and your model, shake up the can a whole bunch, and let it dry fully before touching the model.
