POLYVINE Quick-Drying Clear Acrylic Decorators Varnish Satin 100ml

I was doing a painting project with acrylic paints and I used this varnish to protect the finish. It goes on milky but dries quickly to a clear silk finish. No heavy odour.

Love this varnish, I was a little concerned it might not be clear as they make another which specifically says clear. It looks milky but dries clear, beautiful satin finish, I used it over chalk paint on some curtain finials and couldn't be happier.

Like the fact it protects on multitude of surfaces

Did the job

I used this as protective coating on parts of painted banister that get a lot of hand contact as last time I just painted the paint wore off quickly. I searched how to use it as never used anything like this before. Do not shake as this creates bubbles. You should slowly invert bottle 5 times and then pour out required amount. Then stir which is an important step and wait a few minutes for it to settle. Apply thinly. For my job recommendation was 3 coats. You have to be careful as it runs very easily so keep checking for the first 10 mins. Even though I thought I'd put first coat on thinly it ran a bit. I found it quite difficult to use as it's hard to see when applying. Also even though I used a brand new brush and container it just seems to pick up tiny hairs from nowhere! Finish was OK, hoped it would have been better as I'd put a lot of effort into trying to do a good job of it but maybe that's just my inexperience. It is a small bottle but perfect amount for my requirements and still have about half left. A little goes a long way. Even though it says you can reapply in a few hours I waited 24 hours after each coat just to make sure. Also it apparently takes 5 days to fully cure so I've covered up the top of both finials with a small box.

I was recommended to use this and it was easy to apply and dried very quickly

Was okay, more of a shine to it that I was expecting. It dries too quick and can leave brush streaks if not evenly painted. I added a drip water to it and it gave me that extra time to get it done before it dried.
