    Hey guys just wondering what a good product would be to use for sealing a custom Vinylmation. Are spray sealants better than brush applicated ones? I appreciate any feedback and brand names thanks guys!!

    I personally use the spray-on matte-finish sealer by Plaid. Goes on smooth and even. I've never had any problems with it.

    themodelmaker will become famous soon enough
    I used brush on satin varnish produced by Winsor&Newton and it works well. I had some bad experience with spray matt varnish from the same producer and munnys (I didnt risk on vinylmation yet). It became sticky on the vinyl areas uncovered by sculpey even if I sprayed all with primer before painting. My solution for sticky coating was hairspray. It isnt sticky anymore. But be carefull, my friend used this technique, but she spray painted over the layer of hairspray and the top layer paint cracked after few weeks.
    Brushed on varnish never left me with sticky surface so far and no brush marks because I used big and soft brush.
