Polyvine Decorators Varnish Satin - Water Resistant Clear Varnish with UV Protection - Seals and Protects Emulsion, Acrylic Paint, Wallpaper, Wood, Furniture, Plaster & Fabric, 100ml

I was doing a painting project with acrylic paints and I used this varnish to protect the finish. It goes on milky but dries quickly to a clear silk finish. No heavy odour.

Love this varnish, I was a little concerned it might not be clear as they make another which specifically says clear. It looks milky but dries clear, beautiful satin finish, I used it over chalk paint on some curtain finials and couldn't be happier.

I used this as protective coating on parts of painted banister that get a lot of hand contact as last time I just painted the paint wore off quickly. I searched how to use it as never used anything like this before. Do not shake as this creates bubbles. You should slowly invert bottle 5 times and then pour out required amount. Then stir which is an important step and wait a few minutes for it to settle. Apply thinly. For my job recommendation was 3 coats. You have to be careful as it runs very easily so keep checking for the first 10 mins. Even though I thought I'd put first coat on thinly it ran a bit. I found it quite difficult to use as it's hard to see when applying. Also even though I used a brand new brush and container it just seems to pick up tiny hairs from nowhere! Finish was OK, hoped it would have been better as I'd put a lot of effort into trying to do a good job of it but maybe that's just my inexperience. It is a small bottle but perfect amount for my requirements and still have about half left. A little goes a long way. Even though it says you can reapply in a few hours I waited 24 hours after each coat just to make sure. Also it apparently takes 5 days to fully cure so I've covered up the top of both finials with a small box.

Arrived quickly and the product works well. Dry's clear and gives good protection.I used this on EPO Foam and it does the job !!

Tip Top, just the job

I was recommended to use this and it was easy to apply and dried very quickly

Like the fact it protects on multitude of surfaces
