Testors Spray Lacquer 3oz, Clear Coat

This is great stuff. You set up the item(s) you want to give a preventive coat to, then spray, let dry, and repeat a couple times. The finish is a dull matte; it doesn't really feel like the items are coated with lacquer--which I didn't want, so it's just what I was looking for. It feels almost like the items are coated with plain paint, but it's paint that doesn't chip off. So they feel unvarnished yet well protected, which is just the effect I was hoping for. The only real downside I can think of for this product is that there isn't enough of it, so I had to buy a second one. For reference, one of these contains about enough to give a good solid triple coating to about 15-20 miniatures (including lacquering the bases).

I've used this to seal several custom doll faceups. It makes sealing in my work much easier than any brush-on lacquer, and is far more easily accessible and affordable than the MSC that a lot of other artists seem to use, without any noticeable difference in quality. I've sealed in full face freckles before adding makeup so that I could wipe away any mistakes without damaging the freckles, with great success every time. It really does the job well! This does mean that you need to be absolutely sure before sealing that you're happy with your paint job though, because once it's on it'll take serious elbow grease to remove! The finish is a beautiful matte that is a perfect imitation of natural skin texture. My dolls look so beautiful and lifelike once they've been painted and sealed with Dullcote. They've been photographed many times in various lighting, and I'm very happy with the results. No glare on the skin, even with a flash. No uneven or shiny spots. Just a gorgeous, smooth matte look. Just be sure to follow the directions and spray far enough away from the surface you are coating. Spraying too close can cause tiny bubbles to appear, and the layer of Dullcote will peel off around them after they've dried. Do a few practice runs if you're worried to make sure you have the hang of it.

I use this when I want to practice bjds and not give them permanent faceups. It doesn't have as much tooth as MSC but it does work and is alot cheaper. I would highly recommend it if you need practice. Bjd was sealed with testors 2x, worked on while spraying a thin layer every time I needed to save my process and then a final time at the end. The result is good and so far I have had no problems!

I've done around 20 D&D miniatures with this. Like others, I think they could give a larger bottle for what they're charging. But the quality is good. It is tack free in maybe 20 minutes, but I let them sit overnight just to make sure the finish looks right. Highly recommend it.

I tried this on a recommendation from a well known miniature clay artist - it’s great. Matte finish, and does a great job protecting the finished product. The can is rather small, but the quality of the Sealer is high, and this will be the brand I use from now on.
