Liquitex - High Gloss Varnish
Seal finished acrylics with UV protection and brilliant, permanent shine
A crystal-clear acrylic polymer layer that seals your finished work while maintaining breathability. The formula dries to an intensely reflective surface that amplifies color saturation and creates depth, making it ideal for contemporary pieces where you want maximum visual impact.
This permanent varnish contains UV light stabilizers that guard against fading, particularly important for work displayed in bright spaces or near windows. The acrylic polymer base remains flexible as it cures, moving with your painting's natural expansion and contraction rather than developing the stress cracks common with traditional resin varnishes. Apply it with soft brush or spray equipment once your painting has cured completely, typically 72 hours for standard acrylic layers.
The breathable formulation allows moisture vapor to pass through, preventing the trapped condensation that can cloud less sophisticated varnishes. For work destined for exhibition or long-term display, this combination of UV protection, flexibility, and optical clarity provides the archival security your finished paintings deserve.
