Water Based Varnish

Featured Replies

Hi, anyone have idea where I can buy 1L can of water based varnish ? thanks

Water-based Vanish? Then can get White-glue(water based, appeared transparent when dried), normal starch-glue.

Popular, Art friend, normal stationary shop all have these.

Use glue to paint :o ?? .... thanks but will not try ....

there are water varnish in the market ... e.g. hobby paint but is ex ... therefore looking for cheaper type...

thanks anyway

cheers

There are many types of varnish dor different application. For WOOD, use thinner-based varnish (kind of a resin, dissolved in thinner solution). Your appication?

White Glue can be used as protective transparent layer( to prevent oxyidisation) for PAPER application.

Water-based has its limitation - cannot get in touch with water, even after hardening.

Can tell me which brand/where hobby shop you know sell "water-based" varnish?.

not for paper, ....

used before, in touch with water no issue.. paint on toy and small shelf... wash or wipe also no issue. :D

my current application need is for my book shelf which always grow mold .. :(

All hobby shop should sell water based clear spray or brush application .. but very ex .. normally japanese brand ... (Not tamiya .. tamiya is oil based)

Most of hobby paint is water based, paint on stryofoam also no issue ..will not "eat" styrofoam..

Daiso also sell water based varnish ... $2 but less than 100ml ...... therefore see where can get cheaper as I need to paint 2 book shelf and oil / thinner based very smelly ...... even Nippon started to sell bodelac in water based but too bad varnish / transparent not yet started ....

cheers

I see, wait long long for cheap varnish, some more anti-foam, plastic. Good luck. Try Jet hobby, 180ml, $8.00

Your introduction very ex at $8 for 180ml !! :o daiso only $2 for 80-100ml .... wait long long ?? no need :P ... just need to find the right shop .. hear that some industry area have water based varnish at less than $15 1L .... that's why I'm here to try my luck .. see got pple know anot which is the actual shop ... only heard that AMK industrial have (no brand, produce locally) but AMK Ind very big .. therefore checking anyone know of any actual shop

hobby shop selling ex not because the paint is ex but (1) profit margin is high (won't blame them as rental is a killer) (2) transport fare from Japan .... anti foam , plastic is not high end paint ...... anyway thanks :D

Wow lau, the one I mentioned is in spray-can form. Brushing is very lacha.

oh i see .. paiseh.. but in this case is interior of house .. spray wil be messy .... brush will be easiler to clear up

normally for vinyl kit I use air brush, u into model kit ? buy in application (brush) form much cheaper than spray. Sg sell paint very ex ... the prices in hong kong or even Japan is so much cheaper ... (paint or kit)

........once again ...

Anyone know where to buy cheap water varnish !!!! Thank you !! 谢谢 !! need it for my molding shelf !!
