Finish your painting or decoration with a transparent matt coat. Pentart Matte Varnish is water-based, spreads evenly and becomes water-resistant after drying. The matt finish reduces shine while keeping the colours underneath visible.
A matt finishing coat
Use the varnish as a final coat on dry acrylic or tempera work, or on a dry decorated object. Choose this water-based version when you want a matt finish. Varnish is a finishing coat; it does not replace an adhesive or opaque primer.
Choose the size for your project
You receive one 50, 100 or 230 ml jar. The small jar suits details and small projects; a larger size provides more varnish for several pieces. All three contain the same matt varnish. Consumption depends on surface area, absorbency and coat thickness.
Apply an even coat
Allow the paint or decoration to dry first. Spread the varnish evenly with a suitable brush, avoiding local build-up. Dilute with water if necessary. Try a small sample with the same paint and surface first, then assess colour, matt appearance and adhesion after drying.
After drying
The transparent coat becomes water-resistant when dry. Choose a finish specifically intended for prolonged immersion or dishwasher use if your work needs either. Close the jar after use and follow the label instructions.
