Liquitex Satin Varnish is a professional-grade acrylic varnish that provides a subtle, soft sheen ...Liquitex Satin Varnish is a professional-grade acrylic varnish that provides a subtle, soft sheen while protecting and preserving artwork. Designed to enhance color depth and durability, this archival-quality varnish ensures long-lasting brilliance without excessive gloss or dullness. It offers a balanced sheen that enhances color vibrancy without high gloss or full matte effect. This durable and protective varnish shields artwork from dust, UV exposure, and environmental damage. Its non-yellowing and archival quality ensures colors remain true over time without discoloration. The varnish is also flexible and crack-resistant, drying to a strong, protective layer that maintains flexibility. It is suitable for acrylic paintings, mixed media, and collage projects. For artists looking to enhance and protect their work with a soft, professional finish, Liquitex Satin Varnish is the perfect final touch. Seal your acrylic work with a transparent, satin acrylic layer which is breathable, permanent and protects against UV damage. The 100% acrylic polymer varnish adds a satin sheen, protects and resists dirt retention. It dries clear to a flexible, non-tacky, hard surface, increasing brightness and color saturation. It adjusts and unifies surface sheen, and improves surface durability – ideal when shipping or exhibiting. The varnish protects colors from UV light damage and resists discoloration such as yellowing and fogging caused by humidity, heat, and UV. Depending on the substrate, it allows surface moisture to pass through and breathe, and allows for easy cleaning without fear of damaging the acrylic paint film. It has excellent levelling properties and will not hold brush marks. It is semi-opaque when wet and transparent when dry. Use on flexible or rigid supports, designed for interior and exterior use. To use, do a patch test first as this is permanent. Before varnishing, ensure the paint surface is fully dry (72 hours to 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 missed areas, but leave to dry and then re-varnish the 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 more than two layers are required, first use Gloss Varnish as a base layer and build to your desired thickness, then apply Satin Varnish as your top coat. Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in surface bubbles and a foggy, hazy look when dry. Do not apply with a roller or sponge brush. Do not thin with water. Do not apply in one thick coat, but several thin coats, to avoid brush marks, drips and cloudiness. Do not go back over areas you have already done, as this can cause clouding. Do not attempt to remove once applied. Do not use with any non-acrylic media.
