Master Series Paint: Brush-on Sealer

Like many reaper add-on products to their MSP paint line, you don't always know what it is/what it does. (most of these can be considered PROS if you want/know that's what you'll get...) 1) This is VERY GLOSSY. pro/con 2) IME, it can OBSCURBE SUBTLE DETAILS AND GRADIENTS... smoothing them out. pro/con, i.e. tide marks might not be as noticeable... 3) It took me two coats of matte varnish (Storm shield? Can't remember what brand i used) to try to tamp down the above two effects, but never fully got there (I didn't want a third layer b/c I wasn't done with the piece 4) not sure of formulation, could be urethane based don't remember... 5) like many reaper add-on products... reading a couple pages/posts on their 100% fan curated/moderated (can be a problem)/contributed forum is sometimes the only way to safely use the product...

The finish seems to be somewhere between matte and gloss. Goes on without much trouble. You'd want something more specialized if you're aiming specifically for a matte or glossy/shiny finish, but this works great as a general sealer.

An excellent sealer, easy to apply and doesn't rob the paint of any luster once it dries.
