Hi guys, I am following the weathering thread. I have primed my tiger in black and will begin spraying the gray soon. Looking ahead, I see clear polish was used to seal the tank in until the next layer of detail can be applied. I looked everywhere today but couldnt find any clear polish anywhere.
I think it has been stopped. Has anyone found a replacement? Or do you use gloss varnish instead!
Could people let me know any tips! I would be grateful.

I purchased one of these last time I was in Sainsbury, does it work like the old Klear?
I'm probably a little way from actually needing to use it!

I've used it with no problems ,new bottle , that's all . same stuff as far as i can tell . btw it isn't a wax , just a clear acrylic varnish that has been formulated to be removed with amonia .

Great stuff, the only difference I've noticed between the products is the new one has a slightly milky colour to it. Good news, they currently sell for £20 on eBay for the old branding.

Hi,
It is probably only the bottle colour that has changed, now it is white ...this item number 330518636294 on ebay at £4.99 with £2.49 postage has exactly the same label and seems to coat the same type of surfaces...so that is £7.48 delivered to your door !

Ok I will check out the new klear. Although I have seen mixed reports about it.
What do you think about this? Would it work?

Just bought the same bottle, 1st time user.
The Jagdpanther is now quite shiny. A little darker.
I hope that a final satin varnish will flatten it a little bit.
Oh and it now smells like a brothel.

Well, I would be interested to see how you get on when the model is finished. Any discolouring?
Let me know how it settles on the tank. I will have to get the new stuff I reckon.
Where did you get it, from tesco etc?
Is anyone here from america?
They have the original non perfumed brand I think, annoying as they wont let you order it from the states.
