Or just type pledge into sainsburys search engine

Thanks Fenton

You really use this?  Wax???  Can you paint on top of it?

[Fenton]

I dont. I use it a replacement for Army painter..I use Vallejo quick shade black over grey to bring the details up ...I use the Klear stuff on larger 28mm models on 6 and 10mm I use W&N Nut Brown ink

I was down in Sainsburys about an hour ago and looked at the bottle and its the same stuff as I have

I've used AP on 10mm skellies; would pledge do the same?

[Fenton]

yeah should do but of course you make the mix to what ever strength you want or different colour..I use the Klear and Army Painter strong tone ink cos I'm a cheapskate

Anyone using Army Painter dip should give this a go: works really well

Thanks again Steve

I use B&Q's quick drying wood varnish in rosewood, about a fiver a tin and lasts for ages, gives good shading and cover. A good matt varnish across the top is needed though!

I think Nik uses something similar

[toxicpixie]

He might have inspiration, along with Tim of Madaxman fame! Works well, lasts ages, cheap as chips

Yep - Wilko's Wood Stain. About £3 for a decent-sized tin...best diluted a bit.

A question:

I've used Pledge as a dip / wash at the end of painting, but never as an undercoat.

Does it's glossy finish cause problems with applying acrylics to the figure?

My experience is no when I have used as a wash over white primer.
