Liquitex Satin Varnish

Use with

• Acrylic paints & mediums

Use on

• All acrylic surfaces

• As this is permanent, do a patch test first
• Before varnishing ensure paint surface is fully dry (72 hours-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 bits you have missed, but leave to dry and then re-varnish 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 you require more than two layers, first use Gloss Varnish as a base layer and build to your desired thickness, then apply Satin Varnish as your top coat

How not to use it

• Do not shake or vigorously over-brush as this can result in surface bubbles and a foggy, hazy look when dry
• Don't apply with a roller or sponge brush
• Do not thin with water
• Don't apply in one thick coat, but several thin coats, to avoid brush marks, drips and cloudiness
• Don't go back over areas you have already done, as this can cause clouding
• Don't attempt to remove once applied
• Do not use with any non-acrylic media
