spray can generally goes on thicker than an airbrush. comparing apples and oranges.

[@crimsonaterdaeus]

They both serve the same function so it's really not.

[@noahward9445]

HA, I've been watching your channel all the time lately. I was just searching for a review of the Vallejo varnish and I clicked this not even realizing it was Eons of Battle. Your production value has gone up quite a bit since this video was made.

[@qrazuriteguardian914]

Short, helpful, and now I know which varnish to purchase. Nice vid.

[@Generalsplatton]

A true comparison would be to use the the Testors Dullcote Lacquer Liquid and spray it through the airbrush. It is better than their spray version.

[@JH-ze9cn]

Hi, thanks for the perfect timing of this vid. Would you mind telling me what needle size and PSI you used to apply the vallejo varnish? Thanks!

[@DocEonChannel]

This was kind of pointless as a comparison of the actual products, since the differences you note have much more to do with the application techniques. It's really a comparison of airbrush vs. spray can.

[@thecartofvideos4766]

You dumbass. You did the same thing,@@MangyForestCat. Your the stupid person.

[@madshader]

@@thecartofvideos4766 "Your"?

[@nextgamelevel963]

hi 3 questions for Vallejo one: can i use also a brush ? does it smell a lot diring procces ? does it smell after it dried §? thanks

[@han7made]

Very precise and sweet review!! Love it

[@tomcmustang]

I like being able to use my airbrush because of the amount of control I have. But the Vallejo looks a bit more shiny. Maybe it was just the video?

[@eatsfoodgood13]

Do a video on making a house. Maybe something from a rural medieval era. Stone and wood

[@KrogunDK]

Hello. I've bought a tube of Vallejo Matt Varnish, and I didn't notice that in on the back it suggests using it in an airbrush. I don't own one, and now my question is if it's possible to apply this with a brush. Perhaps it needs to be thinned in some way. I am painting noob, any advice is much appriciated. Thanks in advance.

[@icetheking4310]

I might be a bit late but I'm an airbrushed and anything that goes in an airbrush can be used with a brush. Doesn't need thinner (usually) but you may want to do a few coats and be careful to get an even spread of application

[@argento1111]

This comparison is absolutely pointless. You should compare airbrush varnish vs another airbrush varnish... its like comparing... let´s say.... an AK-47 against a Flamethrower... " eerrrr... yes... uhh.... the ak-47 was amazing, all the brains of the victim on the wall... eerrrr... but the flamethrower was cool too... errrr... check out those shiny white teeth on the roasted dude.... " errrr,,,

[@SethDr2]

Did you use it on more than one model already? With the normal vallejo primer I have the problem that it dries kinda fast in the airbrush, I guess with varnish this is even worse.

[@kairus1]

hi did u have to mixe thinner with your vallejos matt varnish. when u airbrushed?

[@denisonrd]

same question here

[@Crustyfur]

you can spray straight from bottle with .4mm needle

[@vasilmirchev4555]

Do you need special thinner for Vallejo Varnish?

[@Crustyfur]

no, you can spray straight from bottle with .4mm needle

[@PaulAlexander-tokyomagic]

you can also thin with water.

[@ericp9990]

What kind of paint did you use to paint your figures?

[@GeNGiM]

hey there, how do you thin the Vallejo varnish for airbrush use? TIA

[@patmacrotch5611]

You can use a few drops of thinner or water, or straight out if the bottle at a decent psi 15-20 or so. Just put a good bit of distance from the brush and model.

[@NomadicMScott]

I would like to see how you pinned those termagaunts

[@KowaiiSo]

I want to buy a spray on varnish and I want to know if it's compatible with plastic. How do I know ? I wanted to buy pebeo goache varnish spray but I am hesitating because I don 't k now if it'll react with my figurine. Help appreciated

[@PaulAlexander-tokyomagic]

the vallejo is a polyurethane so it should work fine. Best thing to do to put yourself at ease is buy some and spray it on a piece of cut away sprue.

[@photoshopafficionado]

How is Vallejo Polyurethane Varnish Matt applied with a brush?

[@rakketytam4573]

You use a brush... that's it lol

[@markclark7178]

Testors for this type of product

[@crossbowzoom]

Did you thin the vallejo, or straight through the airbrush?

[@patmacrotch5611]

Either. Just depends on your brush.

[@ChampionofTerra]

can you apply the vallejo one with a brush?

[@patmacrotch5611]

You can but varnishes aren't really that great when brushed out. You'd have better luck with a spray can. But don't put it as close to the moe as he did in the video.

[@bigbear647965]

+Pat MaCrotch so again brushing vallejo satin or matt varnish is ill-advised against a spray can. don't really want to get a gun

[@positive_error5141]

Can you apply with a brush? How did it perform in relation to gloss? I know it says Matte but is it really a Matte finish?

[@PaulAlexander-tokyomagic]

it is a lot less shiny than gloss but it does have a sheen to it.

[@positive_error5141]

thnx

[@stunistus]

AK Ultra Matte is better than both imo.

[@briw4647]

Vallejo looks more shiny to me, less matt

[@blanc087]

what is the point of this? one is airbrushed and the other is sprayed...

[@crazyvolucris]

I dont get really the Point of that vid...
To me the Val Vanish is more Shitty than the Otter one... is that just your Pool Lightning or is there a real difference...
