Spray Dullcote 3 oz

I'm not sure if Rustoleum altered the formula from the original Testor's Dullcote but I have found that in colder or more humid conditions, the final coat is more semi-gloss rather than the reliable dull that it had when it was Testors. I have learned to only use it when conditions are favorable now.

I just recently got back into modeling after taking 20 years off. I still had some of my old supplies including an old empty can of Testor's Dullcote. I decided to order another here recently from HobbyLinc and received it a few days ago on a 1/426 scale Revell USS Arizona. I am happy to report that it is the same great product. It's very forgiving of over coverage. You have to REALLY over-apply it for it to not come out right. It even has served to help hide some finish inconsistencies of semi-gloss paint due to user errors on my part during application. The Dullcote goes on easily and dries dull and clear as it should. The smell is quite strong, though, so I definitely recommend a very well ventilated area. If an easy to use matte/dull finish is your goal without the hassle of having to use and clean an airbrush then you can't go wrong here. It's a must have for new or inexperienced modelers.

I use this for a flat finish and protective coat on scale models and wargame miniatures. Dullcote performs well in a wider temperature and humidity range than any other spray sealer I've tried. Multiple light coats are better than one heavy coat; if over-applied, it can, on rare occasions, dry with whitish residue in crevices and recesses. Smells dreadful, but it should be used only with good ventilation, anyway.
