IPA is great for removing Vallejo Acrylic Model and Model Air Demon. Just use Vallejo thinners as that is what they use in the varnish itself as the motivator.\ said:Can Vallejo be thinned with ipa I wonder not that it should need thinning
I had the same trouble about 1/2 years ago. The white spots rather spoilt a 1/72 spitfire where the spots settled in indentations. I also had trouble with the wings of a 1/72 Lancaster and ended up picking many spots off with a needle. I sent the batch number to Vallejo but they said it was not faulty.\ said:Iwhen I started using Vallejo Matte clear I found it brilliant.But the last two bottles have been rubbish.Leaving white patches on the model despite mixing it well.Wont touch the stuff now.I now use Alclad Matte coat and it's brilliant.
Mine are kept in my garage where it's cold in winter and hot in summer.Ive suspected this might have something to do with it ,as apart from the Matt varnish all the other Vallejo paints are great when new.I still use Vallejo metallic colours for spraying undercarriages etc as I can put an enamel wash on afterwards without it affecting the paint.And I use Vallejo thinners.Ive found warm water good for cleaning out the airbrush afterwards.And the occasional clean with cellulose thinners shifts any type of paint.\ said:IPA is great for removing Vallejo Acrylic Model and Model Air Demon.

Make sure you give the airbrush a clean afterwards or it will gum up your airbrush. Use Vallejo cleaner as it is made for the job.
Except for a faulty batch not had any problems with any Vallejo products. I just cannot understand why others do. I wonder if it is they are being kept in low or high temperature ranges or both. Also to keep the top on tight to seal the small outlet on the nozzle.

I have looked at the Vallejo site, varnish dept., and cannot find Vallejo Premium Acrylic Polyurethene. Also tried in search engine. Could yopu please give me the ref. num (xx.xxx).\ said:Best way to mix is just to flip the top off and stir.
The best I have found is Vallejo Premium Acrylic Polyurethene. Absolutely clear and does not need shaking. They do gloss satin and matt. Plus it is more robust than the Vallejo acrylic Varnish.
Had the polyurethen about 3 years and it is still in the as new condition.

Hi Steve. It is in the Fine Arts Dept. Each of their paint section has auxilaries. Just to allay fears all of Vallejo products are compatible one to the other.\ said:I have looked at the Vallejo site, varnish dept., and cannot find Vallejo Premium Acrylic Polyurethene.

They have dropped premium from the name. This is an extract from their Q & A.
10.5. Can I use your new polyurethane varnish on a model painted
with Model Color?
Yes, the Polyurethane Varnish can be applied on Model Color, Game Color
and Model Air, but make sure that the paint surface is completely dry. The
polyurethane varnishes dry more quickly than the acrylic colors, and form
a hermetic surface. If the base color has not dried completely, humidity
could be trapped under the varnish and cause problems difficult to solve

Just to confirm the 51 and 52 above are satin and matt varnish. ie 3 types altogether.\ said:http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/fine-arts/auxiliary-products/1
shows 26.650/51/52 Polyurethane Gloss Varnish It is described as: "New polyurethane varnish formulated with the most recently developed resin, waterbased and non irritating. This varnish has the superior resistence of polyurethane and the ease of application of waterbased products. U.V. Resistant.". This looks like it. They have other types of varnish also.
