Question to the comminity - has anyone tested (beside me) the new Purity Seal? Its called Munitorium Varnish.
My Games Workshop guy told me that its basically the same as Purity Seal, except that they got rid of the weird dusting/frosting effect that was present in several batches of Purity Seal in the last year.
While that in itself is really nice - there are two things that Iām not completely happy with. One - they made it more expensive. PS was 13,40ā¬ before, MS is 15,50ā¬ now for 400ml.
In case you canāt read it: āDANGER. Contains Acetone. [ā¦]ā
The rest of the bottles is exactly the same. Iāve read that when I was home, and my first though was āFuuuuck.ā ā¦ second though was āFuck it, Iāll test it.ā
So well, I did. first on a headcap, then on a head - my new Venitu, to be precise.
So, result?
It doesnāt cloud, its not shiny, it doesnāt leave a weird powder-y surface after drying (which I had with PS sometimes). It gives a really nice texture to work on; nothing too coarse, but grippy enough to be able to finish a face-up with only 3 base layers and 3 layers in the end. My watercolor pencils donāt chip of the sealant (which I also had sometimes with PS), but instead make crisp, clean lines, and pastels stick pretty well to it too.
My guess is theyāre using the Acetone to dissolve the actual sealant better when youāre shaking the bottle, so it evaporates when you spray it. I havenāt noticed anything weird happening to the resin; my Venitu still has a slight texture in the resin, so it didnāt melted (as far as I can see).
So, all in all - a better version of Purity Seal, as far as I can tell. Just with Acetone in it, so-ā¦ I guess the only thing you really shouldnāt do is drown a resin piece in sealant, but no one would actually do that.
