        PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

        Liquitex Matter Varnish 237ML / 8 Oz

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

        What it does
        • 100% acrylic polymer varnish adds a matte 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 discoloration - 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
        • Ideal for complete coverage of heavy textures and vertical applications
        • 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
        • Do not thin with water
        • 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 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 a foggy, hazy look when dry
        • Don't apply with a roller or sponge brush
        • 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
