Liquitex High Gloss Varnish is a permanent, transparent acrylic varnish designed to seal and protect your finished acrylic artwork with a striking, high-gloss sheen. This breathable, non-yellowing layer resists UV damage, dirt retention, and surface fogging – making it ideal for display, shipping, and long-term preservation.
What it does:
- Adds a brilliant high-gloss finish that enhances colour brightness and saturation
- Protects against UV light, dirt, and surface abrasion
- Levels smoothly without holding brush marks
- Dries to a hard, flexible, and non-tacky surface
- Suitable for use on rigid or flexible supports, indoors and out
How to use:
- Apply to fully dry acrylic surfaces (allow 72 hours to 2 weeks drying time)
- Stir gently – do not shake
- Use long, even strokes; do not go back over wet areas
- Apply up to three thin coats with at least 3 hours between layers
Do not:
- Use on non-acrylic media or thin with water
- Shake or over-brush to avoid bubbles or cloudiness
- Use a roller or sponge brush
Available in 118ml, 237ml, and 946ml bottles.
