MM28 Polymer Satin Varnish will help to bring out the intense, vibrant colours of the Matisse Professional Artist Acrylics range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse as a final varnish over a dried, well-cured acrylic painting where a satin or semigloss sheen is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis varnish may be used to matt off a work for photography or wherever a subdued satin finish is required. It is most suitable as a protective coating particularly over large works exposed to damage in public galleries, commercial paintings required for floodlit photographic reproduction and paintings that would be improved by eliminating unbalanced glossy highlights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-yellowing and completely clear. As acrylics dry very rapidly, care should be taken to apply varnish pre-diluted with water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow much water will depend on the temperature, humidity and how thickly you apply each coat. However a good starting point is somewhere between 1 part water to 1 to 2 parts varnish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolymer Varnish, applied in very thick layers on a hot day, could trap moisture, resulting in a cloudy film which would be very difficult to correct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM28 Polymer Satin Varnish can also be used as a matting medium added into the paint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolymer water-based varnishes may appear to be slightly hazy whilst in solution. This is an optical effect produced by light refraction of acrylic particles suspended within the water-based medium. The effect disappears when the film is dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM6 Polymer Matt Varnish and MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish are freely intermixable with MM28 Polymer Satin Varnish to alter the sheen level of the varnish as desired.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use over oil-based paints.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not allow to freeze. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis varnish should be thoroughly stirred as it contains a matting agent, which may, in prolonged storage, tend to settle out and fall to the bottom of the container.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Derivan","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":48155258290328,"sku":"1MM2M28","price":24.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1L","offer_id":48155258323096,"sku":"1MM1LM28","price":75.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/8321\/1672\/files\/1MM2M28-NEW.jpg?v=1763436836","url":"https:\/\/theartistsstore.com.au\/products\/derivan_matisse_mm28_polymer_satin_varnish_250ml","provider":"The Artists Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
