Liquitex Soluvar Varnish can be applied to acrylic or oil canvases. It dries into a clear, solid and non-sticky film that is resistant to water, dust and discoloration. This varnish evens out automatically and does not allow paintbrush marks to show. It offers both a permanent and temporary surface, which protects the canvas and allows for easy removal of dust and stains.

Glossy Soluvar Varnish enhances the depth and intensity of colours, while Matte Soluvar Varnish reduces their intensity, depth and shine.

• 100% acrylic polymer varnish
• Water soluble when wet
• Good chemical and water resistance when dry
• Non-tacky
• Hard, yet flexible surface
• Resistant to dirt retention
• Resists discolouring due to humidity, heat and ultraviolet light (non-yellowing, non-fogging)
• Depending upon substrate, allows moisture to pass through (breathable)
• Not for use over oil paint
• Protects acrylic colour
• Archival
• For interior and exterior use

• Apply as a final varnish over dry acrylic paint.
• Varnish surface and environment must be clean, dry and dust free.
• Acrylic paintings must be completely dried and cured for 48-72 hours before varnishing. Thicker acrylic applications may take more time to cure.
• Application may be done by brush or spray. Generally a sprayed application will be thinner, smoother and more even. Rolling or sponging application is not recommended.

• Use a wide, soft hair brush. Generally, a 1 to 4 inch flat brush is used, depending on the surface area.
• Apply Liquitex varnish in 1-3 thin coats, rather than 1 thick coat. A thick coat will take longer to dry, may dry cloudy, may drip or sag during application and has a greater chance of showing brush strokes when dry.
• When applying Liquitex Matte Varnish, apply no more than 1-2 thin coats. A thick application may result in cloudiness when dry. If more than 2 coats are desired, first varnish with gloss varnish until desired thickness is achieved and then apply a final coat of matte varnish.
• Canvas should be placed horizontally in order to prevent the varnish from running. After varnishing, the surface should be shielded with a protective "tent". This will prevent any dust or airborne particles from settling into varnish as it dries.
• Apply Liquitex varnish in slightly overlapping pattern that covers entire artwork. Apply in horizontal and vertical brush strokes, so that entire area is evenly coated.
• Do not rework areas you might miss as the brush could pick up partially dried varnish and cause clouding. If areas are missed, wait until the varnish is dry and apply another coat.
