The use of this varnish will help maintain colour intensity with a gloss finish comparable to that of oil paintings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixed with Matisse Colours, it increases gloss and flow characteristics. Used as a finishing varnish, it produces a strong, protective, tack-free, clear film. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish and MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish are freely intermixable to achieve a semi-gloss or satin finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMM7 dries completely clear, is non-yellowing and it will remain totally flexible. Polymer 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\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs acrylics dry very rapidly, care should be taken to apply varnish pre-diluted with water \u003cem\u003e(how much water will depend on the temperature, humidity and how thickly you apply each coat, however, a good starting point is somewhere between 10% to 20% water to medium with a maximum of 50%). \u003c\/em\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\u003eAll Matisse painting mediums are freely intermixable, e.g. Polymer Gloss Varnish will intermix with MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish to give a subdued gloss effect; MM8 Spreader Medium will intermix with the above to offer various degrees of water resistance and flow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrying time will be approximately 1-2 hours, depending upon weather conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not attempt to speed the drying process with a heat source such as a blow dryer or fan heater, as this may cause cracking. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not use over oil paint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDo not allow to freeze.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish and medium is also an archival adhesive and most suitable replacement for PVA glues which will yellow and go brittle in a short period of time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"easyslider-item easyslider-item-static\" data-es-marker=\"slide-mm7-polymer-gloss-varnish-s1\" data-es-handle=\"slide-shipping\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"easyslider-header\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-labelledby=\"easyslider-label-1763439466655-1\" aria-controls=\"easyslider-content-1763439466655-1\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"easyslider-anchor\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"easyslider-anchor\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Derivan","offers":[{"title":"250ml","offer_id":48155261960344,"sku":"1MM2M07","price":24.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1L","offer_id":48155261993112,"sku":"1MM1LM07","price":75.25,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/8321\/1672\/files\/1MM2M07-NEW.jpg?v=1763439443","url":"https:\/\/theartistsstore.com.au\/products\/derivan_matisse_mm7_polymer_gloss_varnish_250ml","provider":"The Artists Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
