Reaper's Gloss Sealer vs Golden Soft Gel Medium

[Talae 33628]

Is there a Reaper product similar to Golden® Soft Gel Gloss Medium? Maybe Gloss Sealer?

 

I am using it to make part of some Dwarven Forge sewer tiles shiny, and the guide suggests the Golden product. Having only about twenty 2"x2" tiles makes me not want to go buy a product just for this.

Here is the guide I am following (last page for this specific part): http://www.dwarvenforge.com/wp-content/uploads/painting-guides/Sewers.pdf

Reaper has a gloss sealer: http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/gloss/latest/09298

 

From the bottle, I would think yes. Could you try it on one tile and see if the effects are to your liking?

I'd agree that gloss sealer looks to cover the same process.

I've been using Reaper's gloss sealer for my first sealer layer on my minis and, yes, it should achieve the same effect.  My minis all look suitably slimy until I hit them with a layer of brush-on sealer to kill the sheen.

The gloss sealer worked great. Thanks everyone!

Glad you found something that works!

Although I do like the irony of using Future to finish the bottom of a sewer system. . . .

Doubly so due to the scent. Give your sewer that lifelike fresh flower scent!

 

That smell is pretty much permanent. I have dungeon tiles I sealed 5 years ago with Future, and they still smell like flowers.

That irony would be rather amusing, although not quite amusing enough to make me go on a special trip to the store and purchase a bottle to use on twenty tiles.

Yeah, for non-plaster tiles, it's not exactly a necessary purchase. For anyone that does any amount of work with plaster though I recommend it. It's cheap, and the plaster just drinks it up, making it go from a scratchy, chalky surface to a more plastic-y surface that resists scratches and scratching. Dwarvenite doesn't really benefit from it like plaster does.

How do your tiles look? I just did this for my Water Dwarven Forge and I don't know if I need to dry-brush over the gloss.

the picture doesn't really do it justice, but here are the results: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/67808-dwarven-forge-city-builder-terrain/page-3#entry1496816

 

I like the idea of using the gloss sealer on my water tiles, as well. Thanks for the idea!
