I would say that you should pick up a pint and give it a try for your specific application, though. Everyone likes to use Timeless in their own way. Thanks! **Q: I have a wall mural 17' x 8' done in acrylic paint. how do i use timeless to seal it without using a sprayer?** A: Nelli is correct, you can use a foam roller. In fact, this is the most common application method when varnishing inkjet prints. When varnishing an acrylic painting, you can use a foam roller, or a brush if you prefer. The brush is less common for protecting prints because it can leave a surface texture from the brush. This is likely more acceptable when protecting a painting, though. Hope this helps. Thanks! **Q: Will this work for a hand painted indoor wall mural** A: It can depend on the type of paint that was used to paint the mural, but most likely yes, Timeless Varnish will work for this. I would recommend testing a small area before covering the entire mural. Thank you! **Q: what is the drying time?** A: I live in Colorado where the humidity in my house is about 30% with a humidifier, and it took about 15-20 minutes to dry. You will definitely notice a difference once it dries as the varnish goes from a milky white to completely clear when dry. You will not be able to tell that it is even on the canvas. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A+ *by K***I on October 21, 2016* Good Product, works great if you're already using their canvas (we were using the Lyve Canvas (24" x 40' Roll))The Matte gloss has a nice, clean finish / we didn't use the other gloss options.We've used Marabu's ClearShield and Letjet's Sunrise laminates and after testing them all we went with a combination of the Timeless (bottom) and ClearShield (topcoat) to get the effect we wanted. ## Frequently Bought Together - Breathing Color Timeless Archival Print Varnish - 1 Gallon Matte Finish - Premium Water-Based Canvas Coating with Fade Protection and No Glare Finish - Breathing Color Timeless Archival Print Varnish - 1 Quart, Satin Finish, Premium Canvas Coating, Water Based UV Protection, 100+ Years Certified Archival - Timeless Roller Kit Helps You Perfectly Protect Your Prints Featuring A Fine High-Density Foam Roller Designed For a Smooth, Clear Finish. 9 inches Wide For Maximum Coverage --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/39289312-timeless-archival-print-varnish-1-gallon-matte-finish-premium-water](https://www.desertcart.us/products/39289312-timeless-archival-print-varnish-1-gallon-matte-finish-premium-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
