Basics Matte Varnish

Protect and seal your acrylic work with a transparent, matte layer which is breathable, permanent and protects against UV damage

Additive Size: 250ml
Key Features
  • Adds a matte finish, protects and stops dirt build up
  • Dries clear to a flexible, non-tacky, hard surface
  • Increases brightness and color saturation
  • Improves surface durability - ideal when shipping or exhibiting
  • Protects colors from UV light damage and resists discoloration - yellowing and fogging - caused by humidity, heat and UV
How to Use
  • Before varnishing ensure paint surface is fully dry (72 hours-two weeks depending on thickness)
  • Place the artwork flat on a surface - always varnish horizontally
  • Stir gently before use. Use a large, soft brush
  • Stir gently before use and 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 up to three thin coats, allowing at least three hours dry time between coats.
