For a better result, shake the varnish the day before and let it sit in order to avoid the formation of air bubbles when applying. The varnish can also be mixed gently with a stick before use in order to prevent the formation of bubbles. \nApply 1 to 3 light coats, instead of one single thick coat. A thick coat will take longer to dry, may run or sink in during application and may result in visible paint marks when dry. \nLay the work to be varnished flat on a table.\nDo not dilute the varnish as it will then be more likely to produce air bubbles. \nUse : \nCan be mixed with acrylic colours to thin out the colour or to create glossy glazes. \nSupports : suitable for all supports. \nDrying time : 3 to 5 days with acrylic.
