Matisse MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish 250ml

Matisse Polymer Matt Varnish is suitable for use as a final varnish to provide a protective coating that dires clear and is non yellowing. It's used as a protective coating for significant works in public galleries, commercial paintings that require floodlit photographic reproduction or for paintings that would be improved by eliminating glossy highlights. 

Although white in colour, Matisse MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish dries to a completely clear, flat matte finish. It can be used by artists of all skill levels and it suitable for studios, schools and most creative spaces. 

Directions for Use

• It is recommended that this product be stirred thoroughly before application, as it contains a matting agent that can settle at the bottom of the container. Avoid shaking the container, as this can cause bubbles that may affect the finish. Do not allow it to freeze.
• Add approximately 20% water to increase the flow of MM6 Polymer Matt Vanish and apply with a soft-bristled brush to minimise brush streaks. This varnish may appear slightly white on application but will become transparent as it dries. It is essential to apply the product rapidly and not keep working the surface as it begins to dry. Doing so can result in white patches as the brush scratches the drying varnish. A minimum of two coats is recommended for a consistent matt finish. MM6 Polymer Matt Vanish is not suitable for use over oil paints.
• Drying time is approximately 1-2 hours (leave 24 hours before re-coating), depending upon weather conditions. Do not attempt to speed the drying process with a heat source such as a blow dryer or fan heater, as this may cause cracking over time. Also, exercise caution when applying any polymer varnish in very thick layers on a hot day, as moisture can become trapped in the drying surface, causing a cloudy finish that is very difficult to correct.
• The MM6 Polymer Matt Varnish and the MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish can be mixed to achieve a range of semi-gloss or satin finishes – or simply use the MM28 Polymer Satin Varnish.
