Liquitex Professional - Matte Varnish 473ml

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 colour 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
