                        Hi everyone,
                        Has any one used the Xtracolor flat varnish, and what thinner ratio do you use?
                        I have two kinds,one in a large plastic bottle, which seems quite thick and one in a tin.
                        I use most Xtracolor paints (enamels), but I have a OD P-51 and Beaufighter in Ocean Grey and Dark Green to do.So want to get it right.
                        Any help would be appreaciated.

                        Hello,
                        I use Xtracolour flat varnish from the bottle or from the tin. I thin mine at a ratio of 2 parts varnish to one thinner, and spay at about 15 - 20 psi.
                        Only trouble with the bottle version is that it tends to go hard over the years and becomes unusable. Make sure you shake the bottle and mix it well.
