Derivan Matisse Fluid Mediums Polymer Gloss Varnish can be used as both a glossy paint additive and a protective finishing varnish. It enhances colour intensity, gloss and flow, creating a finish comparable to oil paint or shiny enamel.
As a finishing varnish, it dries to a strong, clear, flexible and tack-free film. It is non-yellowing and dries completely transparent. Polymer Gloss Varnish can also be mixed with Polymer Matt Varnish to achieve a semi-gloss or satin finish. Its water-based formula may appear slightly hazy when wet but dries clear.
For best results, pre-dilute with approximately 10-20% water, adjusting as needed for temperature, humidity and application thickness. Up to 50% water can be added. Allow approximately 1-2 hours drying time between coats. Avoid using heat sources to speed up drying, as this may cause cracking. Do not allow to freeze. Not suitable for use over oil paints.
Polymer Gloss Varnish and Medium can also be used as an archival adhesive, offering an alternative to PVA glue, which can yellow and become brittle over time.
This is a 250ml bottle of Derivan Matisse Fluid Mediums Polymer Gloss Varnish.
