LiquitexProfessional Acrylic Varnish, High Gloss, 118 ml

I've tried this on wood & glass. On acrylic painting on wood it is great, it gives a nice shine after 3 thin coats. It dries really quickly between coats and doesn't smudge the paint underneath (some spray varnishes I've tried do). It's waterproof and the items I've painted have been fine outside in the rain. I've put 2 pictures to show what the varnish looks like on wood but the same bottle has gone a long way and has coated lots of windchimes, wood slices, bird houses, big houses etc. It's lasted much longer than I expected it too as the bottle seems comparatively small compared to a spray varnish. It does dry on glass and protect the painting but if there is any clear glass left showing then you can clearly see the brush marks or ridges in it (I didn't like the finish when using a sponge either). I have recently seen a video of someone varnishing by rubbing varnish on with their hands onto glass, it wasn't this brand but I'm going to try it to see if it works any better, although I'm skeptical it'll be as nice a finish as I want and will probably just keep using it for any wood items I paint.

Varnishing is tricky and requires a decent purpose made varnishing brush for best results (in my opinion). Good lighting is ESSENTIAL, ideally a strip light within 6 inches of the canvas/plywood so nothing is missed. Practice makes it easier. I always dilute between 10-15% H2O (bottled, not tap water). 3 to 4 coats of Liquitex High Gloss will give a glass finish once a good technique has been mastered.It gives great protection and protects from UV sunlight. Unfortunately it is not cheap and 1-2 coats doesn't usually give the required finish. I do recommend this product because of its amazing finish.

Easy to use dries quick with out leaving chunks or any white tint for the size and price it not as worth it tho as it is small but the quality is good. Very very shiny tho 👌

Bottle is small, but it's so fluid you'll end up not using as much as you think - 118ml is perfect for 20-30 paintings which is perfect, and great for the price.

Perfect for acrylic paintings. Leaves a lovely glossy finish.

I've used various forms of resin to gloss my pebble art, this if the best I've ever used, no mixing, easy to apply and gives a great gloss result, it also goes a long way, no harmful smells, washes off easily if you get it on your hands, can't praise it enough.

Excellent product for a quality finish.

Good
