## Description

Liquitex Professional Acrylic Varnish, High Gloss, 118 ml : desertcart.co.uk: Home & Kitchen

Review: For sticky crafters - Excellent quality sealant
Review: Great for varnishing acrylic painting on wood - I've tried this on wood & glass. On acrylic painting on wood it is great, it gives a nice shine after 3 thin coats. It dries really quickly between coats and doesn't smudge the paint underneath (some spray varnishes I've tried do). It's waterproof and the items I've painted have been fine outside in the rain. I've put 2 pictures to show what the varnish looks like on wood but the same bottle has gone a long way and has coated lots of windchimes, wood slices, bird houses, big houses etc. It's lasted much longer than I expected it too as the bottle seems comparatively small compared to a spray varnish. It does dry on glass and protect the painting but if there is any clear glass left showing then you can clearly see the brush marks or ridges in it (I didn't like the finish when using a sponge either). I have recently seen a video of someone varnishing by rubbing varnish on with their hands onto glass, it wasn't this brand but I'm going to try it to see if it works any better, although I'm skeptical it'll be as nice a finish as I want and will probably just keep using it for any wood items I paint.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: DO I NEED TO VARNISH MY ACRYLIC WORK?**
A: Varnishing acrylic works protects against damage, dirt, UV light, unifies sheen, and enhances colour. Liquitex offers Basics and Professional varnishes.

**Q: HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BETWEEN APPLYING EACH LAYER OF LIQUITEX PERMANENT SPRAY VARNISH?**
A: Ensure the artwork is fully dry before varnishing and allow at least 12 hours drying between coats of varnish.

**Q: CAN I USE LIQUITEX VARNISHES TO PROTECT ARTWORKS, INCLUDING GICLEE PRINTS AND TRADITIONAL GOUACHE PAINTINGS?**
A: On giclee prints, use Liquitex Gloss Varnish or Soluvar, starting with a fine mist and layering coats for best results. For waterproofing gouache on canvas, use Permanent Spray Varnish, but subsequent paint layers may not adhere to the varnish.

**Q: HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY SPRAY VARNISH AND STOP NOZZLE CLOG?**
A: Shake aerosol cans before use, store above 15°C, and clear the nozzle by spraying propellant. Hold the container upside down and spray for a few seconds before and after use—this releases only propellant, helping to keep the nozzle clear.

**Q: DO I NEED TO WEAR A MASK WHEN SPRAYING LIQUITEX VARNISH?**
A: Wear a mask and maintain good ventilation when using Liquitex Varnish. Use a suitable respirator for the working environment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product, does what it says
*by L***S on 15 September 2024*

A good varnish, makes my mini paintings look nice and satiny, not overly glossy. I applied two coats to the image in the photos/video. It advises 3 hours drying time between each coat. The photos of the item look deceiving (like most product photos), always check the size in the description. I made the mistake of assuming it was the same size as the W&N varnish I see in The Range, same shape bottle. It's not, it's smaller than the W&N and therefore a little pricier in respect to the amount. When this is used I'll definitely try the W&N brand. However I've always like Liquitex, their products are good quality. Can't say any different about this one.
