Humoral clear varnish, any good.

[1975GinjaNinja]

As the thread says really. I have a bottle of this on the shelf as it was the only clear varnish I could find in the hobby shop when I started modelling again.

I will probably buy some alclad aqua gloss at some point but feel like as I have this I should try it as my gloss coat for decals etc.
So has any one had experience of airbrushing this stuff and has comments on it?

Cheers for any advice, thanks

Sorry for the typo in the thread title...

Of course it should read Humbrol.

Humoral! Sounds like a hemorrhoid treatment. But I digress, I used Humbrol gloss coat on my first model back to the hobby - Klingon bird of prey, in my eagerness, I did not thin it or anything just sprayed it neat and was well pleased with the result, it had a nice shine and seemed to level up well.
I just tried Tamiya glos X22 and Mr Levelling Thinner for the first time - but its quite a learning curve. I did not get the result I wanted, apparently one must spray it all in one session, a light tack coat then mix it more 75 to 25% gloss then a final pass with straight MLT

Use it all the time, no issues. I have a different approach to nazidki, I thin 70% gloss to 30% thinner. Tack-coat then wet coat. if, after 24hrs, its not shiny/deep enough, just go again.
