Sealing

The very last step is to seal the mini to protect your beautiful paint job. Spray sealer covers the mini in a thin, transparent lacquer.  Brush on sealer is essentially paint without any pigment.

My favorite sealant is Testors Dull Coat. Follow the same rules and process as we discussed in the priming article.

If you are currently experiencing cold or damp weather, I’d recommend going with brush on sealer rather than a spray. Cold and humidity can cause spray on sealer to cloud the miniature.

Important safety tip: Never accidentally grab your can of primer instead of your can of sealer. That really sucks. A friend of mine did this once on a Warhammer fantasy unit. He still gets a haunted look in his eyes when we speak of it.
