Winsor & Newton Galeria Matt Varnish, 75 ml, Clear Removable, Non-Reflective Protective Finish, Suitable for Matt Finish, Professional Use

Winsor & Newton Galeria Matt Varnish is a clear, removable finish designed for fully cured acrylic paintings. It provides a non-reflective matte surface, protects the artwork, and allows for future cleaning and renewal without permanently altering the underlying paint.

Key features include matte control to reduce gloss, a removable coat for future cleaning and renewal, an even film with minimal brush marks, non-yellowing clarity for long-term use, and acrylic-surface safety to protect fully cured acrylic paintings.

1) Ensure the painting is fully cured. 2) Use a clean, soft brush and apply a thin, even coat with long, smooth strokes. 3) Avoid over-brushing and allow the coat to dry completely before applying a second coat if needed. 4) Work in a dust-free environment and follow the drying times on the label.

Yes. The varnish is removable, allowing you to refresh or clean the surface later by carefully lifting the film and reapplying a fresh coat as needed.

It's formulated for fully cured acrylic surfaces, such as acrylic paintings on canvas or board. It adheres well to dried acrylic films but should not be used on non-approved substrates.

No. It is designed to remain clear and non-yellowing over the long term, preserving the original color integrity of your acrylic work.

Keep the container tightly closed, store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Use within the product’s shelf life for optimal performance.

Yes. It is water-based with low odor, but use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid skin and eye contact; wear gloves if sensitive, and keep out of reach of children. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse promptly with water.

Ideal for finishing acrylic paintings to reduce glare, create a non-reflective appearance, and protect the surface while allowing easy removal and renewal when needed (for cleaning or updating the finish).
