Ouch.. you typed that all in? Next time install/use the Google Translator App on your phone and either take a picture of the text or even do a screen shot of it and pull it up that way in Google translator. See below where i did a screen shot of the app on my phone and circled the camera button. Believe me it has saved me a ton of time and once you try it once you will see how easy it is to use.

Sorry Iā€™m a bit late to the party.

I use both the gloss and matt versions of this clearcote and thin it with X20. as for the ratio, I reckon I do about 55:45 (ish) in favour of the clearcote.

Iā€™ve had good results so far by spraying thinly and building up rather than going too heavy.

I apply a thin coat before decals and two thin coats after, washes run nicely on it and itā€™s forgiving when using white spirit to clean up.

Tamiya X-20 is their enamel thinner. That works well with Humbrol Acrylic Matt Varnish?

Yeah, thatā€™s right. I think you should in theory be able to spray the clearcote straight from the bottle but, it seemed a little thick so I used X20 and tried a test piece and havenā€™t used anything else since.

Wow! In theory that should not work, but if you had positive results Iā€™ll have to give it a try. Thanks for the response.

What do you call someone who speaks three languages? Trilingual

What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual

What do you call someone who speaks one language? American

Old German Joke, but knowing your background, thatā€™s probably not the case.

I asked a girl once (different girls actually) what you call a man who speaks six languages, and that was the answer. Only one has ever guessed it. She was doing a dual MBA program at Stanford. One of the guest instructors was Warren Buffet. So, yeah, she was somewhat smartā€¦
