Liquitex Matte Spray

News about it has been making rounds on DoA and Tumblr. I'm planning to get some at my local hobby store for my Resin guys, but I heard you can't use it on MH dolls (it'll stay sticky). Has anyone heard more information about this? Or is there a thread on here where someone's already discussed this?

I know Myrretah ran some tests on the Liquitex spray to see how it held pastels and blended colors. Personally, I liked the look of it, and what she was doing (I was totally watching over her shoulder) and then she sealed over it with this other matte spray that's supposed to be more permanent...

The downside to the Liquitex stuff is that it isn't as entirely matte as ZM or MSC is. If I get my hands on some, I'll do a test run myself to see how it reacts to a top-coat of ZM to flatten it, but as a working sealant, it looks fantastic. And the can is twice the size of a can of ZM or MSC, for only a few dollars more. Not to mention readily available in the US. Not sure about other countries.

Thanks! I just got a can and am going to try it out (I'll just save my MSC for the MHs). Can't wait to see your results!
