Jo Sonja Decoupage Varnish 250ml

Decoupage Varnish is a heavy-bodied version of Gloss Varnish for artists who wish to finish their projects with a thick, lacquer-like coating. It has been specially formulated for decoupage artists to hide the cut edges of paper. Applying 8 to 10 coats of Decoupage Varnish is equivalent to 35 to 40 coats of other, thinner varnishes.

Decoupage Varnish dries to a thick, glossy finish that does not yellow over time. It may be used both indoors and outdoors to provide maximum long-term protection and when cured is corrosion, chemical, scratch and wear resistant.

For Decoupage:
All Purpose Sealer or Clear Glaze Medium may be used for adhesion of decoupage paper to the surface.
• For large areas, a coat of All Purpose Sealer applied to the back of the paper and allowed to dry may decrease bubbles during application.  Repeat on paper front. Allow to dry.
• Bubbles may be avoided if paper is brushed lightly with water to moisten prior to application. Apply All Purpose Sealer thinned with Flow Medium 1:1 or Clear Glaze Medium to the surface and the back of the paper.
• Begin to press the paper against the surface from the center out to work out air bubbles. A soft cloth and a circular motion are recommended.
• Lock down by gently using a brayer or wallpaper roller.
