Dark Trainer Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I am looking for a good semi gloss sealer (glossy if required). I ran out of my stash from Bridgetown hobbies (Mr Super Clear Semi-gloss) and can't find any from hobby stores and have to order from vendors I don't recognize online. Example: http://www.mr-hobby.com/en/itemDetail.php?iId=270 Looking for recommendations or locations I can pick something up from! Looks like there is an alternative from testors, but not sure if any good: https://www.amazon.com/d/Hobby-Paints/Semi-Gloss-Lacquer-Clear-Testors/B004QPGAYA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Testor's Dullcote. It's the only way to go IME. Available at hobby and craft stores across the land (Craft Warehouse, Michaels, Hobbytown, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Testors has a gloss coat too. I use that as the first coat then take down the shine with the matte. I dunno if the Gloss is too glossy for the effect you are going for, but the quality of Testor's product is top-notch ime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at their gloss coat. Do you know local shops that carry it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 Any shop that carries models or hobby stuff should -- not sure where you are, but Michael's does. If you're on the west side, I'm sure Tammy's does. Hobbytown in Happy Valley does. I think Dice Age has some in stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
