FAQs about Varnish

Varnish is used to seal and protect artwork, painted surfaces, and craft projects. It adds a protective coating that enhances durability while offering a matte, satin, or gloss finish.

Varnish can be used on wood, canvas, paper, polymer clay, and painted surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying to prevent imperfections or uneven coverage.

Matte varnish provides a flat, non-reflective finish. Satin gives a soft sheen, while gloss varnish creates a shiny, reflective surface that enhances colour vibrancy and visual depth.

Apply varnish with a clean brush or spray in thin, even layers. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly before adding the next. Work in a dust-free area to avoid trapped particles or streaks.

Most craft varnishes are water-resistant but not fully waterproof. For outdoor use or heavy wear, choose a specialist waterproof or UV-resistant varnish designed for added protection.

Yes, use varnish specifically formulated for the paint type. Acrylic varnish suits acrylic works, while oil paintings require a traditional damar or synthetic varnish once fully cured.
