Questions & Answers

Is this "semi-semi-semi-semi-sem gloss"?

No, it isn't quite as gleaming.

Is this suitable for inkjet printing?

I've had no problems using it on inkjet TRANSFERS. I got as close as I could!

30" x 40" is the size of my canvas. Will one be enough to keep it safe? Is it better to spray it before or after stretching?

That ought to suffice. After it has been stretched, spray it.

Is it possible to use this method to seal acrylic on yupo paper?

Yes, but only lightly, as yupo paper can be finicky. First, try it out on a scrap.

A lemon can be found in this container
3/5

Orders in the past have not been fulfilled. I'm an artist, and I use this to put the finishing touches on my work. For about half of my painting, this can sprayed normally, then began squirting in a straight line. Everything I've tried hasn't stopped it from squirting. I could have returned it for a refund, but without a box, having to go to the post office, and the covid 19 being so far away, I decided to just eat the substantial cost of this can of varnish and hope the next one works out.

Clear coat with no residue
5/5

This is what I used on my most recent acrylic painting. It didn't leave any residue behind, didn't clump or drip, and dried clear. It had no effect on the painting's appearance, which was exactly what I was looking for.

It dries to a clear finish
5/5

It dries to a clear finish. It appears to be in good condition. It seemed to run out of power quickly, and once it does, it sputters, so I wouldn't use it on art that I care about.

varnish is fantastic! I used it on a 13"x19" canvas print and it came out great
5/5

There is no visible film, it is not tacky, it dries quickly, and it stinks as expected, but this has no effect on the quality. This book comes highly recommended.

My paintings have a fantastic finish
5/5

I prefer a satin finish to a gloss finish most of the time. It's simple for you to get even coverage and it's simple for you to get it.

It appeals to me, however
4/5

It works great; the only downside is that it smells like roach spray and leaves a lingering odor on your paintings for a short time before disappearing.

I was happily surprised! It's easy to spray and has a smooth finish
5/5

I used it on my daughter's painting and it did a great job of bringing out the colors with only two light coats. On the canvas or in the sprayer, there are no clumps or globs. What a bargain!.
