Humbrol Satin Clear Varnish 125ml Bottle

Humbrol Satin Clear is a self-levelling satin varnish supplied in a 125ml bottle, designed to protect and finish painted model surfaces.

About this model

This varnish applies crystal clear and dries to a satin finish without brush marks, thanks to its self-levelling formula. It works over both Humbrol enamel and acrylic paints, so it suits modellers running either paint system on the bench.

It is commonly used to prepare surfaces before applying decals, since a smooth varnished base helps decals settle without silvering, and it can also be used to revitalise clear parts such as canopies and windows.

Common questions

Can I use this over acrylic paint as well as enamel?

Yes, the formula is compatible with both Humbrol enamel and acrylic paints, giving flexibility across different painting systems.

How should I apply it?

Shake the bottle well, then apply thinly with a brush or airbrush. It is surface dry in around 30 minutes, with water-based cleanup afterwards.

How do I get a deeper satin finish?

Apply multiple thin coats once the previous coat has dried, working in stable conditions above 15°C for the best results.
