The Story
The middle ground between glossy and flat, and often the most realistic of the lot. Vallejo's Polyurethane Satin Varnish protects a finished model with a soft, low sheen — lovely on leather, skin, wood and anything that shouldn't look bone-dry or plastic-shiny. Permanent, hard-wearing and water-based.
At a glance
- Type: Polyurethane varnish
- Finish: Satin, permanent and very resistant
- Volume: 18ml dropper bottle
- Use: Brush or airbrush (0.4mm) without dilution
Why it's good
- Protects finished models with a natural, low sheen
- Perfect for leather, skin and wood that shouldn't look fully matt
- Touch-dry in around an hour; leave 24 hours between coats; cleans up with soap and water
Satin often flatters a display piece more than dead-flat matt, giving surfaces a subtle, lifelike glow.
The natural mid-sheen seal for display models. Pair it with a matt varnish for areas you want fully flat.
