Update on new RebornFX Ultra Matte Varnish and Matting Powder

Oh my, how time flies! I've gotten behind in my blogging as life rushes on....
Thought I'd better update this blog on the newer products that have been developed in the Rebornfx line that I have been having fun testing out.
First off Rebornfx has come out with their Ultra Matte Varnish.  Now this stuff is " awesome"
It leaves an ultra matte finish with no shine AND it also leaves a really silky feel to it. I love it! A little does go a long way. I did a 20" reborn and you could hardly see I used any out of the 4 oz. jar.

You do have to ensure you stir the stuff before using as the matting agents do sink to the bottom of the jar when it sits for a while. Easy to apply, just add it to your dense cosmetic sponge and lightly pounce(hard pouncing may leave bubbles) onto your finished reborn doll. It goes over air dry acrylics and heatset paints. Ensure your paints are fully dried/cured before applying. Paint that is still wet underneath can cause the varnishes to go cloudy. Let air dry for at least 24 to 48 hours for full protection.  Here is a sample picture of what my reborn painted vinyl looked like on the right and then I added on one coat of the Rebornfx Ultra Matte Varnish on the left side.

The feel of the dried Rebornfx Ultra Matte Varnish  is unbelievably smooth and silky.

The next  new Rebornfx product is the Matting Powder. The Rebornfx Matting Powder can be added into acrylic air dry paints (including the Rebornfx Air Brand paints) to help take away paint gloss.

On the left I have added in Rebornfx Matting powder into Liquitex brand acrylic paint shown on the right. You can see how nicely it matts down the shine from that paint when added. You can see how I add the Rebornfx Matting powder into the paints on my you tube :  https://youtu.be/-4Yvv55YP30
You do have to be mindful to mix according to directions and not to add to much. Adding to much can affect the binding properties of your paint or if not mixed well  it may leave powder dots.  I think this product has great advantages for using with acrylic paints in reborning.

Now I'm off to painting my Reborn Dolls = only 33 more days until Christmas!
