| Post subject: | help with varnish |
hey guys, i just wanted some advice on varnishing. i've just been using a standard varnish i got from an art store, and i find it clouds up some of the detail and sort of 'mutes' paint that i have so painstakingly applied : ( so can you recommend any good brush on varnish brands out there? something that you have used in the past with good results? also i have heard that gloss varnish protects more than matte varnish, so do any of you apply gloss, then matte varnish? thanks |

I've heard Vajello Matte Varnish is good. There's also Lahman Medium I think. |

Be sure you are following the instructions on the exactly. I like krylon matte finish. The instructions say after the first layer is on i must wait 2 minutes before applying the second coat. Once, i did not wait A FULL TWO MINUTES and the sealant clouded over. So my first recommendation would be to follow the instructions on the can *exactly* as they are written. My second recommendation would be to find a different brand. |

I use Winsor & Newton Artist Acrylic Varnish and it works well but if I were to paint it on thick or not shake the bottle properly I would suffer similar issues to you. Using gloss varnish first is supposed to provide a harder wearing finish but I have never found it to be necessary. |
