FAQs

What surfaces can I use this varnish on?

You can use this varnish on wood, papier mache, metal, glass, paper, and plaster.

Is this varnish suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, this varnish is weatherproof and can be used for projects that will be exposed to outdoor elements.

How do I apply the varnish?

Shake the can well and spray in thin, even coats, holding the can about 8-10 inches from the surface. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.

How long does it take for the varnish to dry?

The varnish dries quickly, but the exact time can vary. Allow at least 30 minutes to an hour for the first coat to dry before applying additional coats.

Can I use this varnish for image transfers?

Yes, this product can be used as an image transfer medium.

Is this product safe?

Always use this product in a well-ventilated area. Avoid inhaling the spray. Keep out of reach of children.

How should I store the varnish?

Store the can in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Spray nozzle clogs.

Clean the nozzle after each use by inverting the can and spraying until only propellant comes out. If the nozzle is still clogged, soak it in warm water and try again.

Varnish appears cloudy after drying.

Ensure you are applying thin, even coats. Too much varnish can cause cloudiness. If the project is already cloudy, try applying a very thin coat over the affected area.

Uneven finish.

Make sure you're spraying from the correct distance (8-10 inches) and moving the can in smooth, even strokes. Overlapping each stroke slightly can help create an even finish.

Yellowing over time.

Ensure that the product is the Americana Matt Varnish. If the correct product is used, the non-yellowing formula should prevent this. Ensure the item is kept out of direct sunlight.
