This means that I've not just got a painting queue, I've now got a varnishing queue as well.
This has got me wondering. The current cold snap (hovering around 0 degrees Celsius daytime and dropping to -8 to -12 at night) is unusual for Yorkshire, especially when prolonged over many days, but it is due to end soon. How to hobbyists cope in climates where this is a regular occurrence? Please let us know.
I usually do a lot of spray priming in autumn, so I have enough minis to paint during winter. In regards to varnishing, sometimes I have to wait for spring but if I have access to a room that isn't that cold and can be ventilated I spray varnish indoor.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. I guess if this was a regular thing I'd plan ahead like that.
DeleteWell actually, I'm too disorganised, but you know what I mean.
i am in the same boat, i have wild west stuff to paint but might have to wait till it heats up a bit to spray varnish.
ReplyDeleteif ur in Yorkshire UK, looks like it's gonna be nice for u next week, despite weather here in Pennsylvania, US.
I used to use brush on varnish. A good coat of gloss polyurethane varnish followed by artists matt varnish, but the gloss takes ages to fully dry, even in warm weather, and it can yellow over time if too thick. The matt wasn't always matt enough either.
DeleteIt does look like warmer weather next week round here, so I'll be tackling that varnishing queue
It
I have been busy getting figures ready for painting so have a large queue of figures for spray undercoating. I also have a smaller queue for spray varnishing. Looks like I should be OK next week.
