What it does

• Fully intermixable with all Liquitex products

• As this is permanent, do a patch test first

• Before varnishing ensure paint surface is fully dry (72 hours-two weeks depending on thickness)

• Ensure your space is well ventilated and dirt and dust-free

• Place the artwork flat on a surface - always varnish horizontally

• Stir gently before use

• Do not thin with water

• Use long, even strokes, covering the surface top to bottom while moving from one side to the other - don't go over bits you have missed, but leave to dry and then re-varnish area

• While applying, look for surface bubbles by inspecting it from all angles and even them out immediately

• Apply 1-2 thin coats, allowing at least three hours dry time between coats

• If you require more than two layers, first use Gloss Varnish as a base layer and build to your desired thickness, then apply Satin Varnish as your top coat

How not to use it

• Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in a foggy, hazy look when dry

• Don't apply with a roller or sponge brush

• Don't apply in one thick coat, but several thin coats, to avoid brush marks, drips and cloudiness

• Don't go back over areas you have already done, as this can cause clouding

• Don't attempt to remove once applied

• Do not use with any non-acrylic media
