Ghiant Art Collection oil painting varnish spray, 400 ml

Protect your oil painting with the Ghiant Art Collection varnish spray that suits your stage of work. Matt provides a matt finish; Retouch gives glossy, temporary protection that you can paint over. You receive one 400 ml aerosol can in your chosen version.

Choosing Matt or Retouch

• Matt: choose this varnish for a matt protective coating on a thoroughly dry oil painting. The finish reduces sheen and helps protect the surface against dust and dirt.
• Retouch: choose this glossy retouching varnish for temporary protection of an oil painting. Its thin protective film lets the paint continue drying and can be painted over. This serves a different purpose from a matt final finish.

Spray thin coats in crossing passes

Assess the result on a sample with the same paint first and work on a dry paint surface. Shake thoroughly and use at room temperature. Spray from approximately 20 to 30 cm in several thin coats using crossing passes. Allow 2 hours between coats and leave the work to rest for 24 hours after the last coat. These times concern the varnish layer, not the complete drying of the underlying oil paint.

Safe use

Flammable spray. Work in a well-ventilated space and do not breathe spray mist. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flames; no smoking. Follow the safety and application instructions on the can and keep it out of reach of children.
