Handling

• Shake well before use.
• The product is ready to use, but can be diluted with e.g. turpentine substitute 50019.
• May only be applied with a suitable varnish brush at room temperature to the layer of paint after it has dried completely (drying time for oil colours: at least 8 – 12 month; drying time for thin acrylic coulours: approx. 3 days, for thicker acrylic layers: approx. 1 – 2 weeks; drying time for gouache: approx. 1 day).
• Please clean tools as soon as possible with e.g. turpentine substitute 50019 or brush cleaner 50051 / 50052.
• The dried varnish layer remains soluble in turpentine substitute 50019 or varnish remover 50060 over a long period.
• The varnish coats normally used in practice give no special UV protection to the paints used. For this reason, we recommend that you use high-quality and lightfast artists´ paints from the outset as far as possible.
• The subsequent varnishing of the surface of a picture produced using materials low in binding agents, especially pastels, gouache and water-colours, may cause the colour shade to become significantly darker. Varnishes also may increase transparency of some grounds, like e.g. papers.
• Close immediately after use.
• Store in a cool and dry place.
• Individual pre-tests are required.
