what kinda seal should i apply to my models???

Any advice would be greatly apprieciated

Make sure you use the clear kind

Testors Dullcoat isn't bad.  I've been using krylon lately.

Keep in mind that I've never sealed a model before, so I can't vouch for this personally.  I've read on websites/heard on podcasts that Testor's Gloss gives better protection, but makes the model shiny as hell.  It seems that a lot of people do a coat of gloss, let it dry, then do a coat of matte to undo the shine.

Thank u both. Where does 1 get such products tho. A craft store?

Testors, you can buy it at AAA Hobies

Sometimes you can get Testors stuff at places like AC Moore.  The Krylon is just straight off the shelves at Walmart.  Krylon flat white and flat black make for great primers also.

I've used Testors gloss and dullcoat (from michaels).  I spray 3 layers of gloss (for protection) and then 2 layers of dullcoat (to remove the shine).  It's still shinier than not sealing, but the protection is worth it for me.  A warning: it's really foul stuff, so make sure you spray in a well ventilated space.  Also, make sure that humidity is low, otherwise it can turn milky...  so I hear...  it's never happened to me.  Does ATF sell any sealing product?

Kool guys thx for all the feedback

[joker33]

I don't think they do..........ATF should look into buying it.  I wouldn't have to go to AAA anymore!
