Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish, 118ml (4-oz)

This is such a great product. Although it is typically used for a finish on oil or acrylic art, I purchased it to put on top of, like a glaze, my unfinished tile coasters, which I had painted and stamped. Upon further review, I realized this product could withstand the cold of an iced beverage, it would not work well with heated beverages. So, I began using it as a topcoat for my handmade Christmas ornaments. Works like a charm, and a little goes a long way. I watched an artist's YouTube video to find the specific application process, and I recommend doing the same. It's super easy, but I would have completely done it the wrong way if I had not watcched the video.

I recently used the Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish on my finished acrylic paintings and I’m highly impressed. I thinned it slightly with water to help with a smooth, even application, and it worked beautifully. Once dry, it delivers a true high-gloss finish that really enhances the depth and vibrancy of the colors—my artwork looks sharper, richer, and more polished. A great final touch that also provides lasting protection!

Excellent worked as expected when following directions.

I use this sealer on rocks I paint and leave around town. Very easy to brush on and dries quickly. I use 3 coats on my rocks and it protects my rocks from snow, ice, rain and sun. I also love the shine it gives the rocks.

I really like this for my acrylic paintings. Leaves a nice gloss finish and is easy to apply. I knocked off one star because I can not figure out how not to leave streaks when applying… I have tried everything I can think of and can get it “pretty good” but I want streak free.

This high gloss varnish medium works so well to bring the shine of the wet paint back to the painting

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND practicing the use of this varnish before applying to a grand work of art as this can ruin it very quickly. I use this brands high gloss varnish to cover, protect and add a shiny gloss clear coat over my acrylic paintings. Even though Liquitex brand cost more it's worth the money for the end results. Other cheaper varnishes I've used have turned out to dry with a milky fog look, definitely not clear or near the shine level of what one thinks of GLOSS finish. A poor quality varnish can ruin a perfect masterpiece. _________________________________________________ I have learned a few tricks to create a glass smooth finish that dries 100% clear. Feel free to try them yourself. *apply generous amount on art work. *use silicone brush (reduces brush stroke ) to spread thick layer over artwork. *once cover in thick coat, begin to smooth varnish and remove extra run off by Holding brush almost horizontal with no pressure drag the brush across the top from left to full right past the canvas end allowing runoff to fall away from art work. The weight of brush will be enough to remove extra product but leave enough for the perfect coat thickness. Use light shinning off canvas to judge thickness. 2 coats will smooth the grit texture of canvas. * Any start or stop point of the brush will show up, so start stroke off canvas travel across to the other side continuing the stroke off the canvas. Over lap strokes at edge to smooth previous brush line. * Since product starts drying rather quickly, work fast and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX ANY BLEMISHES or thin areas AFTER you've begun to smooth product. It will only make it worse. Can be fixed with another full coat. *i alternate vertical and horizontal strokes between coats to further prevent lines from forming. * Too thick = milky foggy wavy finish *Too thin= irregular shinny finish or none at all. *Mess with product while drying= lumpy uneven milky finish ( its sticky while drying) __________________________________________ personally i do about4-6 coats for a deep clear coat look. Its very hard to see in my pictures since yeah. the stuff dries clear. good luck and "happy little accidents"

Used it and liked the gloss on the painting.

Bon vernis. Ne pas en mettre une couche trop épaisse, cela laisse une epaisseur blanche .

Probably my fault for not reading the can photo - I can't use this on most of my works. Right, back to Golden.
