Gator Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Hey guys, I thought someone here might help. Just cracked opened a fresh bottle of Agra, and expecting to give my bronze armour a nice muted down wash… expect that it now shines! Not what I wanted. Looks like a gloss varnish now. Gave it a good extra shake and a stir with a tooth pick and still comes out glossy. I have been using the “magic” of the shades for some time now and I have never experienced this. Does anyone have explanations or suggestions? My thanks good sirs, Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabush Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Maybe you bought the gloss version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmantra Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 There is a gloss version, as Sabush said it could be that you accidentally grabbed that one. I have heard (but never tried myself) that a matte varnish will dull down glossy finishes, so you could give that a try on the models you have already painted with the glossy finish, and then either continue doing so, or get yourself a new bottle and save this gloss one for when you want a shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 Yeah, not the gloss version, just straight up regular shade. I am careful about that because I have done that before 😬I have a full bottle of nuln oil gloss. Probably gonna have for the rest of my life.

zilberfrid Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Maybe it's just light on matting agent. Adding matte medium, water and the colours of the shade will dull it a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
