DO I NEED TO VARNISH MY ACRYLIC WORK?
Varnishing acrylic works protects against damage, dirt, UV light, unifies sheen, and enhances colour. Liquitex offers Basics and Professional varnishes.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT BETWEEN APPLYING EACH LAYER OF LIQUITEX PERMANENT SPRAY VARNISH?
Ensure the artwork is fully dry before varnishing and allow at least 12 hours drying between coats of varnish.
CAN I USE LIQUITEX VARNISHES TO PROTECT ARTWORKS, INCLUDING GICLEE PRINTS AND TRADITIONAL GOUACHE PAINTINGS?
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.
HOW DO I LOOK AFTER MY SPRAY VARNISH AND STOP NOZZLE CLOG?
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.
DO I NEED TO WEAR A MASK WHEN SPRAYING LIQUITEX VARNISH?
Wear a mask and maintain good ventilation when using Liquitex Varnish. Use a suitable respirator for the working environment.
