Use on flexible or rigid supports
Designed for interior and exterior use
How to use it
As this is permanent, do a patch test first
Before varnishing ensure the 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 the re-varnish the area
While applying, look out for surface bubbles and even them out immediately
Apply up to three thin coats, allowing at least three hours of dry time between coats
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
Don't 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
