Art/Craft Varnish Army Painter AW2005P Grey Gloss 100 ml

Army Painter AW2005P Grey Gloss 100 ml is a water-based acrylic art and craft varnish formulated for protecting painted miniatures, models and hobby projects. Designed for airbrush application, this 100 ml dropper bottle delivers a smooth, even gloss coat that enhances colour depth while adding a protective layer against handling, abrasion and environmental exposure. The product is suitable for hobbyists, modelers and tabletop gamers who require a shiny finish that preserves detail and improves surface durability.

Advantages

This grey gloss varnish provides a consistent, high-gloss finish that brings out tonal contrast and colour saturation on painted surfaces. Its water-based, non-toxic formulation makes it compatible with acrylic paints and safe for indoor use when proper ventilation is observed. The varnish is supplied in a spill-proof 100 ml dropper bottle for precise dosing and straightforward airbrush setup, and the fluidity has been adjusted to deliver an even coat when sprayed.

Suitable for

• Protecting painted miniatures and figurines
• Sealing scale models and dioramas
• Finishing tabletop gaming pieces and terrain
• General hobby and craft projects requiring a glossy protective coat

Key specifications

• Volume: 100 ml dropper bottle
• Finish: grey gloss (high gloss)
• Base: water-based acrylic
• Application method: formulated for airbrush, also possible with brush after thinning
• Safety: non-toxic when used as directed; use with ventilation

How to use

Shake the bottle well before use to ensure uniform consistency. For airbrush application, strain if necessary and fill the airbrush reservoir according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust air pressure and nozzle settings to achieve a fine, even mist; apply several thin coats rather than a single heavy coat, allowing each layer to dry between passes. If brush application is necessary, thin with the appropriate water-based reducer and apply thin, even layers. Allow the varnish to cure fully before handling the piece.

Usage recommendations

Apply the varnish in a well-ventilated area and test on a spare piece to confirm compatibility with underlying paints. Use multiple light passes to avoid pooling or loss of detail. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep the cap closed to maintain product stability.
