I used polyshades in a lighter color and it worked great straight. The darker colors are far too strong and I thinned them with clear poly. Worked well but the mix didn't have a shelf life. It dried out after about two weeks in a sealed glass jar.
Glad it worked out. I've since this video changed my mix to about 80% polyshades. I just reopened the mason jar with my mix and it did not dry out at all- but I did get quite lumpy and required a bit of mixing.
I'm really curious, now that we shot another episode about this oily subject, do the satin and gloss polyshades differ in their properties enough to affect how well they work for miniature painting?
I just use shades and glosses from Citadel...problem solved. However, I DO use Minwax Flat polyurethane to give a protective finish and it works awesome.
He's been staining all his furniture with Army Painter. I really haven't had the heart to tell him yet. Do you think there's any easy way to break it to him?
Mineral spirits are also called white spirits, mineral turpentine, turpentine substitute, petroleum spirits, solvent naphtha (petroleum), Varsol, Stoddard solvent, or paint thinner, depending and where you live.
A thin matte varnish coat really makes them look detailed without the shine.
This is my favorite wargaming painting channel by far
Use a paintbrush with straight spirits on it to pull the excess off, just like you would with water and acrylics. BOYUH!

I wouldn't be surprised if not all polyshades are created equal, embarking on my own adventure as I type this out!

I watched your Quickshade vs Minwax video too. Clearly they are not "the same thing". So, did James got told? :P

the only alternative is min wax or is posible other stain?
I'd guess other work, but I haven't tried them.
