Key Benefits & Features

• High‑Gloss, Non‑Yellowing Finish
  This varnish spray dries with a clear, vibrant gloss that enhances colour depth without the risk of yellowing over time. UV‑resistant formulation protects your artwork from fading.

• Fast Drying & Smudge Protection
  As a spray varnish, it dries quickly, forming a protective layer that prevents smudging of fragile media like charcoal, pastel, pencil, and mixed media surfaces. Ideal for sealing final touch‑ups or entire pieces.

• Durable & Removable
  The varnish forms a strong, durable film to guard against dust, dirt, moisture, and fingerprints. Yet it remains removable using appropriate solvents, allowing for future re‑varnishing or restoration.

• Versatile Medium Compatibility
  Works excellently with oil, acrylic, alkyd, and mixed media paintings. Whether you're painting on canvas, board, paper, or other surfaces, this varnish gives a professional finish that last.

• Large 400ml Aerosol for Generous Coverage
  The sizable 400ml aerosol can delivers adequate coverage for large pieces or repeated use, making it cost‑effective for artists doing frequent work or large formats.

How to Use

1. Ensure the work is completely dry, especially for oil paintings (often 6‑12 months).

2. Shake the can well.

3. In a well‑ventilated, dust‑free area, hold the can approximately 30cm away from the surface.

4. Apply a thin, even coat, spraying with sweeping motions. Avoid pooling or heavy spots.

5. Allow to dry fully (usually a few hours depending on humidity & temperature). A second coat optional for added gloss or protection.

6. When needed, varnish removal can be done with suitable solvents without harming the original paint (always test a small area first).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1. Will this varnish yellow over time?
A: The Winsor & Newton Gloss Varnish Fixative is formulated to be non‑yellowing. Thanks to its UV‑resistant formulation, the gloss finish retains clarity and vibrancy for years when properly applied and stored.

Q2. Can I use this spray on charcoal or pastel drawings?
A: Yes. It provides smudge protection and seals fragile media like charcoal, pencil, pastel, and mixed media. Spray gently, and ideally in thin even coats to avoid altering texture.

Q3. Is this spray safe to remove later if I need to re‑varnish?
A: Yes. While it offers durable protection, the varnish is removable with the right solvents. Always test a small inconspicuous area first. Removal followed by re‑varnishing is possible for updates or restoration.

Q4. How long should I wait before varnishing oil paintings?
A: Typically, oil paintings should be completely dry, which can take 6 to 12 months depending on thickness and environment. Applying varnish too early can trap solvents or moisture, risking clouding or bloom.

Q5. How much area will 400ml cover, and how many coats should I use?
A: Coverage depends on size and number of coats. Generally, one thin coat over a large canvas is sufficient for protection; a second thin coat can be applied for added gloss. Since it's an aerosol, it’s easy to control application.
