Derivan Matisse Fluid Mediums Polymer Satin Varnish is a water-based acrylic varnish that provides a clear, non-yellowing satin finish, balancing a soft sheen with vibrant color. Designed as a protective final varnish for fully dried and cured acrylic paintings, it enhances color while reducing excessive gloss and unwanted highlights. It can also be mixed directly into acrylic paint as a matting medium.
For best results, stir thoroughly before use, as the matting agent may settle. Dilute with water at a starting ratio of 1 part water to 1-2 parts varnish, adjusting as needed for conditions and application. Avoid applying thick coats, particularly in hot weather, as trapped moisture can cause cloudiness. The varnish may appear slightly hazy when wet but dries completely clear.
Polymer Satin Varnish can be mixed with Polymer Matte or Gloss Varnish to adjust the final sheen. Do not use over oil-based paints or allow the product to freeze.
