Mont Marte Varnish Iridescent, 240ml, Shimmer Finish

Use it on clean, dry, finished acrylic paintings and suitable decorative surfaces. Ensure the artwork is fully dry and free of dust before applying. For best results, avoid applying to dusty or tacky surfaces and always test on a small area first if you’re unsure.

Stir gently before use to recombine settled components. Apply in thin, even coats using a soft brush or appropriate varnish applicator. Avoid overworking the surface to prevent streaks. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying a subsequent coat, if needed.

The varnish dries relatively quickly to a touch-dry state, making it feasible to apply additional coats after a short interval. Drying and recoat times can vary with temperature and ventilation, so plan for a full cure between coats and handle only after adequate drying.

Yes. The varnish forms a protective topcoat that helps shield the artwork from dust, minor abrasions, and moisture, helping to preserve the integrity and appearance of the piece over time.

The varnish provides a soft iridescent shimmer that catches light differently as you move around the piece. The effect is subtle and enhances color luminosity; the intensity can be influenced by the underlying colors and lighting.

This varnish is intended as a final protective topcoat to impart shine and shimmer. Do not mix with other varnishes. Apply as a separate, final coat and allow it to cure fully for best results.

Coverage depends on surface area and the thickness of each coat. A 240ml bottle can cover multiple smaller works or several coats on a single medium-sized piece. For best results, apply thin coats and monitor usage across your project.

Since this varnish is water-based, clean brushes with mild soap and lukewarm water while the coating is still wet. Rinse thoroughly and reshape bristles before air-drying.

The varnish is designed for studio use and is best used in a well-ventilated area. Follow the safety guidelines on the label and avoid inhalation of fumes. Keep out of reach of children and animals, and store upright in a cool, dry place.

Great for acrylic paintings, decorative crafts, mixed-media pieces, or any surface where you want a luminous, protective sheen. It pairs well with bold color palettes to enhance highlights and add a dynamic glow in light.

Compared to a standard gloss varnish, the Iridescent Varnish adds a shimmering finish without sacrificing protection.
