## Description

Gamvar Varnish saturates colours in painting and gives artwork a unified and protective surface. Developed in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, Gamvar can be easily and safely removed with Gamsol. Gamvar is virtually odourless and ready to apply. All Gamvar can be applied when the thickest areas of painting are thoroughly dry and firm. Gloss - Gamvar Gloss goes on water-clear and stays water-clear. Gamvar Gloss is the original Gamvar formula. Satin - Gamvar Satin saturates colours in painting yet dries to a lower gloss level compared to original Gamvar. Matte - Gamvar Matte reduces surface sheen while maintaining the deepest values in painting. Drying Time - A single thin coat of Gamvar provides excellent protection to a painting. If you prefer a higher gloss, a second equally thin coat of Gamvar Gloss may be applied after the first coat is tack-free.

Review: Magic fluid for your paintings! - This is the best varnish, for both oil and acrylics! It really brought out the colors, the depth and shadows. Now my paintings are as good as new and looks so fresh, a little glossy. The packaging was excellent and there was no leakage. Thank you so much for delivering in good condition.
Review: Properly applying Gamvar - First do oiling out on the oil painting to have even gloss on entire painting. After that is touch dry in few days, than apply thinly the Gamvar gloss varnish. In this way you will find that the entire painting is properly and evenly varnished. If oiling out is not done, there maybe uneven varnish gloss after varnishing. Fault is not of Gamvar, but rather of artist in not doing oiling out before varnish application.

### ⭐ Bad product
*by S***R on 17 March 2020*

Gives the gloss but It won't dry and stays sticky even after very long time,. I guess they've sent duplicate product. Definitely not worth for this price.
