Description:
 
Low viscosity - very fluid.
Produces a matte finish
Does not drastically reduce colour depth as does Matte Medium.
100% acrylic polymer varnish. Water-soluble when wet. Good chemical and water resistance when dry.
Dry to a non-tacky, hard, flexible surface that is resistant to retention of dirt.
Resist discolouring (non-yellowing, non-fogging) due to humidity, heat and ultraviolet light.
Depending upon substrate, allows moisture to pass through (breathable).
Will not crack as surface expands and contracts during temperature and humidity changes. Applicable for any acrylic painted surface (flexible and rigid) on canvas, paper, wood, stone, Plexiglas, etc.
Not for use over oil paint.
* Flexible, archival, non-yellowing and water-resistant when dry.
For interior and exterior use
Application:
Apply as a final varnish over dry acrylic paint.
Varnish surface and environment must be clean, dry and dust-free.
Acrylic paintings must be completely dried and cured for a minimum of 48-72 hours before varnishing.
The application may be done by brush or spray. Generally, a sprayed application will be thinner, smoother and more even. Rolling or sponging application is not recommended.
If more than 1 varnish coat is desired, apply 1-2 coats of Liquitex Gloss Varnish before applying a final coat of Liquitex Matte Varnish.
Caution: Acrylic paints and mediums become increasingly brittle in cold weather. Do not apply below 60 degrees.
Thinning: Do not thin, as it will weaken the varnish film and adhesion.
Removal: Not removable. Do not attempt to remove these varnishes with harsh solvents.
