Description

Seal your acrylic work with a transparent, satin acrylic layer which is breathable, permanent and protects against uv damage.

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 colour saturation.
  • Adjusts and unifies surface sheen.
  • Improves surface durability – ideal when shipping or exhibiting.
  • Protects colours from uv light damage.
  • Resists discolouration – 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.
