Liquitex High Gloss Varnish, 237ml (8 oz)

At every stage of the painting process, Liquitex offers the widest range of acrylic mediums to ignite creativity. Varnish Mediums play a crucial role in protecting the painting surface from environmental factors and shielding the pigments from harmful ultraviolet light. These varnishes also have the ability to alter or harmonize the sheen of a painting's surface. Liquitex provides varnishes in various sheens that can be mixed together to create a customized finish.

One exceptional varnish option is the Liquitex Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium. This medium is low-odor, permanent, and durable, utilizing water-based technology. When wet, it is translucent, but dries to a clear finish. It resists discoloration caused by humidity, heat, and ultraviolet light. Suitable for use with Spray Paint, Heavy Body, and Soft Body, it dries to a non-tacky, hard, and flexible surface that repels dirt accumulation. The archival quality ensures it remains hard, non-yellowing, and water-resistant after drying, providing protection against harsh elements for both interior and exterior use.

To apply this varnish, ensure that both the surface and environment are clean, dry, and free of dust. Acrylic paintings must be fully dried and cured for at least 48-72 hours before varnishing. Application can be achieved through brushing or spraying, with the latter method typically resulting in a thinner, smoother, and more even coating. Avoid rolling or sponging applications as they are not recommended. It is important to note that acrylic paints and mediums become increasingly brittle in cold temperatures, so avoid applying below 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Liquitex Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium offers a glossy finish that is lightweight, non-toxic, and transforms into a hard, flexible surface upon drying. It is non-removable, non-yellowing, and water-resistant, providing long-lasting protection to your artwork. Each bottle contains 8-oz / 237ml of medium and can be seamlessly mixed with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums. This product conforms to ASTM D4236 standards and is safe for educational purposes. Explore the full range of Liquitex products on our Amazon Storefront.
