Humbrol's Satin Cote does need thinning before airbrushing, Humbrol's own Enamel THinners being the perfect medium. Give the Satin Cote a darned good stir first, though, as it's notorious for settling at the bottom of the jar. <br />You'll still need a gloss coat before the transfers, though (Gloss Cote is OK for this) - the Decalfix will help them stick, but the clear carrier film will show up unless the surface is glossy.<br />So, I'd recommend the gloss coats first - build up about half a dozen light coats until it's really shiny, allowing each layer to 'go off' for a few minutes in between to avoid runs. Leave for a day or two, add the transfers, leave overnight and spray the Satin Cote (again, a number of light coats is recommended). Leave another few days for it all to harden completely.<br />Good luck!<br />Cheers,<br />George.George Denthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636120634078363608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212570041608488781.post-23633530999780605882012-03-14T19:30:13.848+00:002012-03-14T19:30:13.848+00:00Hi George - got a couple of quick questions if I m...Hi George - got a couple of quick questions if I may?! I am attempting to finish of my class 25 and want to seal it with satin cote. Can this be air brushed directly or does it need thinning?? Also I am planning on using decalfix - any tips for using this? Will the surface still need to be gloss finished for the transfers or will the decalfix be sufficient?? Any help or tips would be appreciated!<br />best<br />chrisChoppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510680630387220612noreply@blogger.com
