Gamvar saturates and gives greater depth to the colours in your painting and gives your work a unified and protective semi-gloss surface. Developed in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, Gamvar goes on water-clear, stays water-clear and can be easily and safely removed with Gamsol. Gamvar is virtually odourless and ready to apply.

Gamvar Satin gives your work a unified and protective satin surface. Gamvar Satin saturates colours in your painting, yet dries to a lower gloss level compared to original Gamvar. Brush apply, do not spray.

I'd heard stories about issues using Gamvar so I was prepared for a struggle but no, this goes on wonderfully. And it really does go a long way. I dipped my brush and removed as much as I could until the brush was barely wet and that amount covered a 12 by 12 panel! That's pretty good going. It wasn't quite that efficient on all the piece I varnished but not far from it.
It really is a satin varnish though. Based on my experience, when a varnish calls itself satin, it is mildly glossy unless you mix it with a matte varnish. But this really is a satin finish: not matte, not gloss but actually satin!
Unless there are issues down the road, I will be using this as my varnish from now on. (Posted on 27/02/2020)

It is as promised. Apparently I need to add 7 more characters. This also explains why I will try not to use Jacksons again. (Posted on 15/09/2019)
