I am being an ignorant consumer and buying the name brand Quickshade. I've tried finding the more commonly used standard varnishes at the local stores here, and I just can't find the ones that I would use (the equivalent of strong tone is everywhere, but I use darktone 99% of the time - I love the high contrast, cartoon-y look).
I think I will just brush it on for these models.
Now, I know it's varnish, so in order to get the gunk off of my brush, I would have to use mineral spirits to get it off. How do I do that? Do I stick the brush in the container of spirits? Do I pour a little cup of it and rinse in there? Do I mix up mineral spirits with water...?
Thanks, gang.
Forgive my ignorance, Archfiend.
