DERIVAN 2L POLY GLOSS VARNISH

This Gloss Medium can be used as a gloss finishing varnish and as a glossy additive to the paint. Mixed with Derivan colours, itincreases gloss and flow characteristics. Used asafinishing varnish, it produces a strong, protective, tack-free, clear film. Pictures treated withPolymer Gloss will appear to look like work done withoil paints or shiny enamel. Polymer Gloss Varnishis freely intermixable with Derivan Acrylics.It is water-based and may appear slightly milky whilstwet. This is an optical effect produced by lightrefraction of acrylic particles suspended within the water-based film. The effect disappears when thefilm is dry. As acrylics dry very rapidly, cares hould be taken to apply varnish pre-diluted withwater (as per directions on labels). Polymer Gloss Varnish applied in very thick layers on a hot day couldtrap moisture, resulting in a cloudy film which would be very difficult to correct. All Derivanpainting mediums are freely intermixable -PolymerGlossVarnish will intermix with SpreaderMedium to givea glossy glaze effect (however, donot mix turps varnishes with other mediums). Nevertheless, painters are advised to use some discretion in pre-determining their selection of mediums to avoid unwanted effects.
