Description
Seal your acrylic work with a transparent, matte acrylic layer which is breathable, permanent and protects against UV damage.
Key Features:
- 100% acrylic polymer varnish adds a matte sheen, protects and resists dirt retention.
- Increases brightness and color saturation and dries clear to a flexible, non-tacky, hard surface.
- Improves surface durability – ideal when shipping or exhibiting.
- Resists discoloration – yellowing and fogging – caused by humidity, heat and UV.
- Semi-opaque when wet, transparent when dry.
How to Use:
- 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. As this is permanent, do a patch test first.
- Stir gently before use. Do not thin with water, shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in surface bubbles and a foggy, hazy look when dry.
- 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. Don’t apply with a roller or sponge brush.
- Apply 1-2 thin coats, allowing at least 24 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 Matte Varnish as your top coat.
