• Adjusts and unifies the surface sheen
• Minimizes the attraction and migration of atmospheric pollutants into the paint film
• Protects against surface abrasion during shipping or exhibition
• Boosts the brightness and colour saturation
• Protects colours from ultraviolet light. Any varnish will afford some protection but those with UV inhibitors offer extended protection from colour fading
• Allows for easy cleaning without fear of removing or damaging the paint film

Liquitex Acrylic Varnishes are an essential finishing touch for acrylic artwork, providing robust protection and enhancing visual appeal. Made from 100% acrylic polymer emulsions, these varnishes form a permanent, non-removable film that is both flexible and hard. Available in Gloss, High Gloss, Satin, and Matte finishes, they dry clear and resist yellowing and fogging, ensuring your artwork remains vibrant for years to come. Sizes Available - 118 ml, 237 ml, 473 ml, 946 ml, 3.78 L Jar and 400 ml Spray

How to Use -

Preparation - Ensure your painting is fully dry before applying varnish. This could take anywhere from 72 hours to two weeks, depending on the thickness of the paint. Work in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment to prevent particles from settling on the wet varnish. Conduct a patch test on a small area to ensure compatibility and desired effect.

Application - Gently stir the varnish before use to mix it evenly. Do not thin with water, shake, or over-brush vigorously, as this can create bubbles and a foggy appearance.

Using a clean, soft brush, apply the varnish in long, even strokes. Start at the top and work your way down, moving from one side to the other. Avoid going over areas you've missed; instead, allow the first coat to dry and then reapply.

Apply up to three thin coats, allowing at least three hours of drying time between each coat. This layered approach ensures a smooth, even finish without streaks or cloudiness. Do not use a roller or sponge brush for application, as these tools can cause uneven coverage and bubbles.

Final Touches - Once the final coat is applied, allow the varnish to cure completely. This ensures the maximum level of protection and glossiness. Do not attempt to remove or touch up the varnish once it has started drying, as this can lead to a cloudy finish.
