FAQs about Gloss Varnish

Gloss varnish is used to seal, protect and enhance artwork. It provides a shiny, reflective finish that intensifies colours on acrylic, oil, decoupage, clay, or mixed media surfaces.

Gloss varnish adheres well to canvas, wood, paper, polymer clay, and dried paint. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying for best adhesion and a smooth, glossy finish.

Apply gloss varnish with a flat, soft brush or use a spray version for an even coat. Apply in thin layers, allowing each coat to dry fully before adding the next to avoid clouding.

Once cured, gloss varnish creates a water-resistant layer. While it protects against moisture and dust, it’s not fully waterproof. For outdoor projects, choose a UV-resistant, weatherproof gloss varnish.

Drying time varies by brand, but most gloss varnishes dry to the touch in 1–2 hours and cure fully within 24 hours. Apply in a well-ventilated, dust-free area for best results.

Yes, gloss varnish is ideal for acrylic paint. It enhances colour vibrancy, prevents fading, and creates a professional-looking finish. Ensure acrylic paint is completely dry before varnishing.
