Derivan Matisse Fluid Mediums Polymer Matt Varnish is a protective final varnish for fully dried and cured acrylic paintings, providing a flat, matt or very low-sheen finish. Ideal for protecting artworks, particularly those displayed in public galleries, or paintings requiring a consistent, glare-free finish for photographic reproduction.
The varnish dries completely clear and is non-yellowing. Stir thoroughly before use, as the matting agent may settle at the bottom of the container. Avoid shaking, as this can create bubbles that affect the finish. Do not allow the product to freeze.
For easier application, add approximately 20% water and apply with a soft-bristled brush to minimise streaking. The varnish may appear slightly white when wet but dries transparent. A minimum of two coats is recommended for an even matt finish. Allow approximately 1-2 hours to dry, and wait 24 hours before applying another coat.
Avoid speeding up the drying process with a hairdryer or fan heater, as this may cause cracking over time. Polymer Matt Varnish is not suitable for use over oil paintings.
This is a 250ml bottle of Derivan Matisse Fluid Mediums Polymer Matt Varnish.
