As the final part of the process, you need a varnish to seal and protect your finished work from dirt, dust and UV damage. Protect your acrylic and oil pieces with a transparent, gloss acrylic layer which can be removed to clean away surface dirt. Soluvar archival removable gloss varnish for acrylics and oils is a unique formula designed to trap dirt and protect your painted surfaces from damage. As a removable varnish, you can lift the dirt away by periodic cleaning.

Gloss Medium provides a buffer coat that protects the paint film against abrasion during future Soluvar removal for cleaning. Soluvar is a mineral spirit-based varnish that adds a gloss sheen, provides final UV varnish protection and resists dirt retention. You can use all Liquitex Soluvar removable varnishes on oil paintings as these are solvent-based.

Liquitex Gloss, High Gloss & Matt Varnishes are archival permanent, 100% acrylic polymer, varnishes that add either a gloss or matt sheen, protects and resists dirt retention. Seal your acrylic work with a transparent, glossy or matte acrylic layer that is breathable, permanent and protects against UV damage.
