AUXILIARIE - Royal Talens

Glossy picture varnishes consist mainly of aresin in a solvent. In the case of matt varnishesa matting agent has been added. When usinga brush to apply a varnish with a matting agent(therefore also with mixtures of glossy and mattvarnish), it is important that the varnish is appliedat the end in brush strokes in one direction. Thishelps to ensure a uniform degree of gloss.What’s more, it is important that a varnish with amatting agent is applied in one layer. This helps toprevent differences in gloss and stripe formation.If, however, matt varnish is applied with a spraycan, this can be done in several layers.929tIPWhen using a spray can it is possible without any problems toapply a matt varnish over a glossy varnish. This is useful if adifferent degree of gloss is decided upon later.Talens Picture varnish glossy 002Purpose: Durable protection of an oil painting (final varnish)Composition bottle: Synthetic resin, turpentine oil, white spiritComposition spray can: Synthetic resin, white spirit• Apply when paint film has completely dried(approx. 1 year with normal layer thickness)• Dries in a few hours• Does not yellow• Gives a high gloss• The gloss can be decreased by mixing with Picture varnish Matt 003• Can be thinned with white spirit or turpentine• Clean brushes with white spirit or turpentine• Dry varnish coats can be removed with white spirit or turpentine• Flammable (in spray can: extremely flammable)• Available in: 75 ml, 250 ml, 400 ml (spray can) and 1000 mlOil colour
