What it does

• 100% acrylic polymer varnish adds a satin sheen, protects and resists dirt retention

• Dries clear to a flexible, non-tacky, hard surface

• Increases brightness and color saturation

• Adjusts and unifies surface sheen

• Improves surface durability - ideal when shipping or exhibiting

• Protects colors from UV light damage

• Resists discoloration - yellowing and fogging - caused by humidity, heat and UV

• Depending on the substrate it allows surface moisture to pass through and breathe

• Allows for easy cleaning without fear of damaging the acrylic paint film

• Has excellent levelling properties - will not hold brush marks

• Semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry

• Use on flexible or rigid supports

• Designed for interior and exterior use

How to use it

• 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

• 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 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 surface bubbles and a foggy, hazy look when dry

• Don't apply with a roller or sponge brush

• Do not thin with water

• 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
