Yeah, the Clear Gloss went on with no peeling or bubbling effect. The surface was coated like armor (pun intended!). It went on just like the saleperson at my Hobby shop said it would. He also said Clear Flat would have the same result, so at this point, I have no reason to doubt him. The only thing I noted about the gloss is that, it really brought the brush strokes into clear view, as opposed to the flat acrylic paint surface, which tends to mask the brush strokes due to a lack of sheen. I'm assuming that the Clear Flat was the dulling down of the brush strokes. I'm still definitely going to try the full blown technique; just not during this harsh New England winter.
