Handling
Ideal for final protection of oil paintings and temporary for those oil paintings which are not yet finished; smoothes out the dull areas that often occur in oil paintings (matt parts less in binder).
Shake well before use.
The product is ready to use as final varnish, but can be diluted with e.g. turpentine substitute 50019; for using as retouching varnish please dilute with 20 % turpentine substitute 50019!
Final varnishes may only be applied with a suitable varnish brush at room temperature to the layer of oil paint after it has dried completely, i.e. after 8 – 12 month at the earliest; for using as a retouching varnishes the picture´s surface has to get dried (i.e. after 4 weeks at the earliest).
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 over a long period.
If used as a retouching varnish it is possible to overpaint the dried varnish layer with oil colours or add a final varnish based on mineral spirit.
Products based on mineral spirit cannot be mixed with those based on alcohol like alcoholic retouching varnish 50020.
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 oil paints from the outset as far as possible.
Close immediately after use.
Store in a cool and dry place.
Individual pre-tests are required.
