## Description

Mineral Spirit Based Acrylic With UV Protection Excellent for Ink Jet Prints, Pastels and PaintingsThese sprays provide a superb protective finish for fine artworks that is removable for conservation purposes. Offers excellent dirt, dust and moisture resistance in a flexible film. Contains ultraviolet light filters and stabilizers to provide archival protection inhibiting light damage. The adjustable fan spray tip allows for precise atomization over the entire artwork. Adheres to a wide variety of surfaces and painting mediums including: acrylics, oils, alkyds, pastels, watercolors and temperas. Because the varnish is not waterbased it is perfect for ink jet prints because it won't migrate with waterbased inks and won't buckle most ink jet papers. Like with all products, testing is recommended. Dries rapidly. Sold in 10 oz cans. Made in the USA. Available in three finishes.

Review: This is the product that works! - Varnishing watercolors is a relatively new, at least to me, process. Customers are learning that watercolors can be preserved without glass, and shows are accepting them more readily. I downloaded and read the procedure from the Golden website, and have been using their product for the last couple of years. I've tried others, and found that Golden spray varnishes enhance the colors of my paintings while protecting them from damage. They also don't "spit" varnish causing unfortunate inconsistencies. I can frame my work without glass, plexi or mat, thus saving costs in framing as well as shipping due to the decrease in weight. Golden has the best products for varnishing and protecting my watercolors.
Review: Wonderful product! - Ordered this based on reviews from my artist groups. It has lived up to my expectations. I was wary to try something to seal my watercolor paintings, but they look beautiful and vibrant and I believe this product will give my work protection for a long time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking to seal up alcohol based ink on canvas for protection. Anyone have any experience if this will cause bleeding?**
A: I don't know if this will help or not, but when I used this product to cover inkjet ink printed over Golden Digital Grounds, the manufacturer told me the product would be fine as long as the inkjet ink was waterborne rather than solvent borne.

**Q: Can this be used for acyrlic paint on canvas?**
A: Yes. I have used it for years

**Q: Has anyone used this product with alcohol inks on Yupo paper? Thanks.**
A: I have not used on yupo but I have used with Alcohol inks on watercolor paper, mulita media paper, and block printers paper.  Worked well on those in light coats two or three times on paper.

**Q: Can this be used on a collage made from magazine and newspaper clippings to provide a shiny finish?**
A: I have used on mixed media collage and it works just great, but I have also used it on many other projects as well and never had a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for oil/acrylic? No. For watercolor? Yes!
*by G***E on December 15, 2017*

Not something I would use on oil or acrylic as brushing this on is over all better. In fact the fumes from this are dangerous to breath and you NEED to use it in a properly ventilated space with protective eye-wear and a proper gas mask. For an oil/acrylic painting stick to the liquid version and use a high quality natural animal hair brush to apply it. So why give this 5 stars? Because it is the only way you can varnish a WATERCOLOR painting. I've used this with 100% stunning success on watercolor pieces painted on aquabord and with a 90% success rate on paper. I think the only real issue with paper is you're soaking the entire piece at once and this always causes curls. I paint almost exclusively on boards though, just because curling/rippling paper drives me nuts and even with proper securing is always an issue with watercolor. This spray gives my watercolor paintings the slick wet feeling of oil, with the unique effects you can only achieve with watercolor paints. The only hangup you'll find is that this stuff doesn't like salt. If you use salt with watercolor to achieve cool effects, this varnish won't stick very well to the salt. You'll need extra layers and You'll never get a perfect coat. Little bit of a bummer there, but the tradeoff is worth it for me. Oh and it is worth noting that once you varnish a watercolor painting you can't remove the varnish down the line, but this is non-yellowing so you shouldn't need to. I suppose you could use an airbrush an a high quality acrylic medium to achieve the same thing, but this is a simpler solution.
