Question though; how do you prevent bubbles? (Cue Michael Jackson joke I fear =) )

I've never found it to be a problem. I squirt a little of the varnish on to a palette (actually an old CD) and dip the brush into that. It goes on as a milky coating, but dries perfectly clear and matt.

Yeah I've got a weeny bottle but, when I shake to mix, it creates loads of bubbles.  Can I get away without shaking it? (oh dear Lord, door wide open for FSN again).
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Are you talking about giving it a squirt and the milky liquid coming  out or something else?
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

The bubbles just die away on the figures. I worried about it the first time around but they just disappear.

I'll be generous, I'll give you about 3 minutes before you can't resist   :D

Remember though Nobby, this is now a serious forum ;)

You're also suspended from the forum for 2 seconds, for the earlier, smutty innuendo.

Do you own a time machine.

That series of events wouldn't be out of place in the 1950s. :)
