Hello, Looking for some direction on applying liquitex varnishes to my Acrylic painted models, Do i need to apply several coats and build it up, or one thick coat?. So far it is spoty on the thin coats and runs on the thick coat. Thanks Rory or at the moment aka confused lol.

I’m somewhat ignorant of the product. Are you brushing or spraying it on?

Sorry should have stated method, Airbrushing tried from 15 to 25 psi while working with this varnish. thanks .

Is that stuff thin enough to spray?

I would go with multiple thin coats and build it up slowly. Closest thing I have used to that is Future, and I used a hair dryer on low heat to dry it so I could lay down extra coats quickly to build up the shine.

Yes it spray’s with no issues, using a Badger 105 Patriot.
