I know everyone uses MSC as sealant for face ups but when I went to order one I realized that, with shipping, it was going to cost more than the doll. So I went in a hobby shop and I found Tamiya Color for plastics flat clear.
I used it to seal the 3 face ups I made since now as they tell to do with msc: spraying it before, between the color layers and after. I wanted to know if someone else used it, if it's ok to use it and if it can in some way seal the color (expecially the chalk powder) or if it's quite unuseful as it actually seem to be a varnish rather than a sealant.
I did the first face up in April and I carried that doll around to take pictures and I had no great problems (her face up is still there) but now it seems some parts of the doll face (that probably scratched) became slightly shiny. Do the msc do that if scratched? It also seems the cheeks became slightly grey (you can not see unless you look very closely). Could this be caused by the product I used?
I really want to know as I'll probably make a face up on a doll whose head is impossible to replace in case I ruin it! °o°''
This is the product I'm using:
