Createx Gloss and Matte?
I was Pearls the other day and noticed that Createx makes a Gloss and Matte finish sealer ... anyone know how well these work as opposed to FFW or Testers Dull Coat?

Hey jesse, I don't know about this sealer. But as far as Matte finish goes I am told the Armory Matte sealer is about the best for a mat finish. But its hard to find I had to go to ebay for mine.

Createx paint (in general) is a bit rubbery and not a very sturdy paint. I enjoy using the transparent for washes from time to time, but I would never use a Createx sealer as a final finish.

So Danno, would you have a suggestion for someone that had a heckuva lot of createx paint laying around, instead of getting rid of them all?...anything that can properly seal this brand of paint or blend something to make it stronger?

Hey Barbarian,
I don't use Createx for airbrushing anymore, but here is what I would suggest:
Since Createx is not airbrush ready, it will need to be thinned and I switched from using the Createx airbrush thinner to Liquitex Airbrush Medium.
Any lacquer based sealer will help to protect the paint.
