    I use this formula Peej

    1. Before decals I use Aclad 11! Laquer Clear Gloss Clear om Tamiya. (note not on waterbased acrylics)
    2. After decals before any weathering to seal decals I give another coat.
    3. After weathering I then use Vallejo Polystyrene/acrylic matt.

    Assume you use a water based paint PeeJ
    Klear is a form of varnish so use on stage 1 & 2 above. On 3 use a water based varnish of you choice.

    Having used Klear an obvious dis-advantage it is not as robust as water based varnish by Vallejo & others.

    Hope this helps. In the end it is what you find best. Golden rule lacquer form paints not on acrylics.
