MATISSE MM7 250ML POLY GLOSS VARNISH

About: MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish & Medium serves both as a gloss finishing varnish and as a glossy additive to the paint. Mixed with Matisse Colours, it increases gloss and flow characteristics. Used as a finishing varnish, it produces a strong, protective, tack-free, clear film. Pictures treated with MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnishwill look like work done with oil paints or shinyenamel. MM7 Polymer Gloss Varnish and MM6 PolymerMatt Varnish are freely intermixable to achieve asemi-gloss or satin finish. Polymer water-based varnishes may appear to be slightly hazy whilst in solution. This is an optical effect produced by light refraction of acrylic particles suspended within the water-based medium. The effect disappears when the film is dry. As acrylics dry very rapidly,careshould be taken to apply varnish pre-dilutedwith water. Polymer Varnish, applied in very thick layers on a hot day, could trap moisture, resulting inacloudy film which would be very difficultto correct. All Matisse painting mediums are freely intermixable, e.g. Polymer Gloss Varnish will intermixwith MM6 Matt Varnish to give a subdued gloss effect;MM8 Spreader Medium will intermix withthe above tooffer various degrees of water resistance and flow. Nevertheless, painters are advisedto use somediscretion in pre-determining their selection of mediums to avoid accidentally eliminating theirintrinsic qualities or beneficial effects.
