Can this be used with acrylic?

Yes….but not too many layers. Two at the most. Let first layer dry before applying second one. Apply thin coat. I’ve used over collages with acrylic paint on some of the surfaces.

If you use A gamvar gloss varnish can you put a matte varnish on top of that

Check out their website: https://www.gamblincolors.com/varnishing-help/ They recommend removing the existing varnish and then reapplying the desired varnish. ( they also have a lot of tips on varnishing using their products.

Can it be used with watercolor painting ?

I don’t think I’d use anything applied with a brush on a watercolor painting. I’d look up how to varnish watercolors before doing anything.

Do you have this product with recent manufacture ?. Since I read here in the comments that the material was expired. Thanks for your reply

Hello - not sure if you are reading feedback or other comments regarding the expired material. We just received our latest Gamblin restocking order of Gamvar Satin on 1/9/19, direct from the manufacturer (Gamblin, Portland OR.) Ours should be quite fresh.

Follow the instructions. Remove any dust before applying.

Followed the instructions all went well. Great to know if a restorer has to do any type of work the film can be wiped off. The results were great.
