Regarding the Kosutte...how long do you let it dry before you can physically handle it w/o leaving finger prints?
Or can you?

Kosutte is a metalizer powder not a paint. Sticks rather well to what it touches.
I would still wear gloves for handling parts.

Hello
So if i decide to use alclad 2 there is no need for a varnish coat?
also im now doing my Horizon endoskeleton and want to add pastels or washes but would need these sealing.
Im realy stuck on this one as i can find rub n buff in the uk

but this can't be sealed either , right?

Loads of craft / artists shops sell Rub n'Buff in the UK....if I remember correctly I think Hobbycraft stock it as well...it is widely available.

Plus SnJ or any other polishing metalizer won't take the abuse that Alclad will.
