How do you seal your painted heads?

[apes3978]

Just looking for tips on how you guys seal your heads once you paint them...

Do you just use something like (brush on) Delta Matte Interior varnish? A spray on sealant?

I use Testor's dullcote spray to seal, and then go back with a small brush and acrylic gloss varnish for eyes, teeth, anything metallic, etc.

When doing skin it helps to seal between coats too. Using thinned paint eliminates brush strokes.

I use Krylon Matte Finish/1311 spray.

I've used both products. Although I'm currently using Krylon matte finish, I like Testor dullcote spray better.

Keep in mind, you only need a light coating to fix a paint job.

Ditto. Although I've experimented with the Krylon gloss coat spray varnish first with a thin layer from a 3 foot distance. Once I have an even coat, I spray the next day with the Dullcote. Thin layer as well. Then touch up.
