## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the matte varnish and the matte fluid?**
A: I cant tell you difference per se, but I can tell you that the fluid has the consistency of tomato ketchup, mixes well with water, and will dry with a slight shine to it

**Q: Can this be used on model kits (e.g Tamaya tank models etc...)?**
A: hi i have never used it on plastic  kits before ,i am an artist  so only use it  over acrylics , but saying that i do know that someone used it over wood and it came out very well and also used it on pebble art  .So  i would  try on a little spare  bit  to see how it looks , at least twice  with an hour or so between  and must be over acrylic paints  and even , do it under good light and after tilt it so you can see that you have  brushed it over even  if you see lines  then brush very lightly and even out . then i do not see why not  good luck love to know how it goes .

**Q: Can this be used on glass surfaces?**
A: Interesting question, so I tried it.  Yes, it will stick to glass and form a clear skin. You'll need to make sure the glass is free from grease and dust.  How resilient it will be over a period of time is another question.  It scrapes off quite easily if you need to remove it.

**Q: Can this matte medium be used to transfer an image onto fabric?**
A: Yes if the print ink comes off.  Very variable  but newspaper worked a little
