Golden Polymer Gloss Varnish with UVLS - 16 oz Bottle

I bought this and some of the Satin, as well. I used them to varnish a very large acrylic canvas painting I did, and it turned out great. I mixed the two varnishes to get a medium glossy finish. Went on great, and really made the colors pop (as I'd planned the glossy would). It also brought out my brush strokes a lot more, which adds a nice textured look to the painting. Very consistent and high quality finish.

Great Varnish that levels out nicely. Not like many other cheap acrylic varnishes. A real joy to use.

Exactly what I needed for my project

As promised!

Excelent ! I use a special mask. !!

The product is great. The packaging thank goodness was good. Upon opening the box I noticed liquid in the box. The internal packaging saved my chair I placed the box on. The lid was cross threaded and leaked all over the internal package and then leaked in the box. I lost about 10 to 15% of the gloss. Bummer but glad the packaging was put together well.

It does the job. However, frankly I prefer Gamvar picture varnish. That does oil paintings and acrylics and has a very high shine which when dry isn't as tacky as the Golden Polymer Varnish. The Gamvar though dosnt have the UVLS as the Golden Varnish does to help stop a painting from fading.

DO NOT BUY THIS. I purchased this a few months ago and want to maybe save some other artist. I followed the instructions very carefully and this varnish, in my eyes, ruined my art pieces. They now have a thin yellowish film over them that has air bubbles. It is also peeling around the edges. It didn’t even brighten my colors or give them that “wet” look you get with good varnish. I highly recommend gamvar gloss by gamblin. Very good and inexpensive.
