Usage Instructions

1. Ensure your painting is completely dry before application. For oil paintings, this can take 6-12 months.
2. Shake the bottle well before use, as the matting agent may settle.
3. Apply a thin, even coat with a flat, wide, soft brush.
4. Do not overwork the varnish. Apply in long, smooth strokes and avoid going over areas that are already tacky.
5. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat, if desired, to avoid cloudiness.
