OK it doesn't make it steel but other composite layers gloss/matte varnish create a Cobbham armour effect<br /><br />I will possible/probably both Glass and Matt at some point Geordie an Exiled FoGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002743056274635657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-34373862243385216152015-10-04T21:58:26.561+01:002015-10-04T21:58:26.561+01:00I never thought of pva wash.

So i poured some water in probably in a 6:1 ratio<br /><br />I didn't want it to be that liquid but once I done it it was all I had so I may end up putting multiple coats on.
