Resists discoloration – yellowing and fogging – caused by humidity, heat and UV
Depending on the substrate it allows surface moisture to pass through and breathe

Has excellent levelling properties – will not hold brush marks
Semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry
Use on flexible or rigid supports
Ideal for complete coverage of heavy textures and vertical applications

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
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
Apply up to three thin coats, allowing at least three hours dry time between coats

How not to use it

Don’t apply in one thick coat, but several thin coats, to avoid 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
