Mineral spirit-based varnishes dry clear to a flexible, non-tacky, hard surface
Adjust and unify surface sheen
Increase brightness and color saturation
Improve surface durability – ideal when shipping or exhibiting
Resist yellowing and fogging caused by humidity, heat and UV
How to Use
Before varnishing, ensure paint surface is fully dry (72 hours to two weeks for acrylics, depending on thickness, and 6-12 months for oils)
Apply 1-2 coats of Gloss Medium as a permanent isolating barrier first and leave to dry for three days
Once completely dry, clean the surface with a lint-free rag dampened with mineral spirits
Place the artwork flat on a surface before varnishing; Stir Soluvar gently before use and apply horizontally with a wide, flat soft-hair brush/pad or spray
For Soluvar Spray, use long, even mists, covering the surface top to bottom while moving from one side to the other; Apply 1-2 thin layers, leaving 24 hours between coats
