I think your face-up is great! I tried to find the "fail" and I failed. I've had the exact same problem. It turned out that it was a problem with not shaking the can long enough. They make "flat clear" by adding some kind of ultra-fine powder to gloss clear. When not in use, the powder settles to the bottom of the can. If not in use for a long time, the powder forms a hard brick on the bottom. If you shake the can just a little, then gloss clear comes out, because the powder is still caked on the bottom. When most of the gloss clear has been sprayed out, a whole can's worth of powder mixes with the small amount of gloss clear left over -- you get this thick goopy white sludge coming out. After dozens of failures, I've learned to shake the can for, like, hours. Good exercise! And it seems to have solved the problem! Hurrah!
Awww, thank you so much! No way! I think you might be right. I only shake the can a few times before I spray. I'm filming today so I will take on your advice and see how it goes. Thanks for sharing!
I put one first coat on my doll, I got a white flakey covering that I had to clear off. I would of been gutted if I had used it as a post drawing final coat. I am using it as a first coat, and looking for something more consistent to finish with.
Oh no, that's annoying. I don't believe I have experienced that before. The coat may have been too heavy/thick. Shaking the can more does make some difference but MSC is generally unpredictable. Good luck!
It's so pretty!! And I appreciate you uploading it even when frustrated because jumping into this seems very daunting. I wonder if giving it more time to dry between layers would help at all? Like 2-3 hours? No idea but I think you did a lovely job and best of luck ❤️💕
Thank you so much! I left one layer to dry overnight but it made no difference. Since sharing this video I have gathered many are experiencing the same issue. My only solution is to experiment with other sealant sprays. Thanks again. 💕
Amai,u use drawing pencils? charcoal based? What kind? So no acryllic (thick) paint? i know its almost rembrant level to manage thatmasterfully. but from what i feel and see the material u draw with is the gamechanger.......u draw basicly instead of painting. good high quality acryl paint has no smoother/fatty substance. i have a feeling its in that corner where issue lies.So end results: you find it to shiny? or a bit greasy? am i following? if yes: if you go painting with absolute stiff thinnest hair brushes dipping in acryllics from a bottle you will prob have dropped have of the shiny issue.. ( from what i understand) you think it somewhat looks fatty or greasy? thats def from the drawing pencils. Have u tried brand : Acryl paint Golden? if not ... pick the thickest variant! DEF not the fluid one like most do initially !!!! drawing and paintting are two totally diff ballgames esp on vinyl. (in my case old vinyl ) Altho golden is not cheap but it wont interfere with a sealer! I feel that is were the problem lies.. correct me please if i misunderstood.. xxxDanka
Hi! Thanks for the advice! In this video I used watercolour pencils but I have used acrylic paint before and the issue remains as the matt varnish spray is the problem; it becomes less effective with time, hence the greasy/shiny finish.

Temperature has a factor too. Was it too warm or too cold where you sprayed? You CAN spray over it and dull it down. It's not a total loss.

I seen someone commented about shaking the can more. I will try this out.

i'M ON THE SAME BOAT, HONESTLY. MSC has never worked out for me. I started using armory sealant instead and it seems to do the trick.
Thanks for sharing. I will look into it.
It looks realistic you did a great job.I hope that you will find an alternative way for the sealant

@@SybilCreates damn how frustrating!! I'm sorry hon, but best of luck in your search for better ones ❤️💕
Thank you! ❤️
It came out gorgeous💜💜💜
Thank you! 💕
I just did a doll, I sprayed her, and her face melted off. I’m sad now :(
Wow! Sorry to hear. I've never heard of that happening. What doll was it?
I read that UV Cut will not work with water based mediums.
you paint very well luv!
Thank you!
I've experienced the exact same thing. It was so disheartening trying to get into modding dolls and msc always made my dolls look super shiny.
Yes, it is so disheartening. I've been driving myself crazy, wondering what I did wrong but it seems MSC is the problem. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you! 💕
@SybilCreates you’re welcome 😊

So pretty! ❤❤💖❤😍😘
Thank you! 💕
She looks pretty, you should try a few thrift shop dolls
Thank you! I plan to very soon.
How is this a fail?!?!?
It's a fail because I know I can do so much better and I think she's too shiny.
use TAMIYA TS 80
Ok, I will check it out. Thanks.
My MSCs hate me too.
We should start a support group. Lol.
