The bottle says it's 60ml, but the label doesn't say so. I'm aware of this because I've used it and checked the manufacturer's website.
It's an acrylic matte varnish, to be sure. To clean it, I've used both acrylic cleaners and water. Please be aware that this is about as flat a finish as you can get. It's as if the final color has been drained of all moisture!
I dilute the solution with isopropyl alcohol. You can use distilled water in place of tap water. Water stains are avoided with the use of distilled water.
I use it to seal my miniature models, and it's extremely matt. It completely deflates the luster. However, for a kitchen counter top that is subjected to a lot of water and general wear and tear, I would recommend something with a higher sheen and that is designed specifically for counter tops. According to my understanding, the higher the sheen, the better the protection. I hope this information is useful to you.

However, it looks fantastic when used with dry textures like stone or sand. You can also combine it with a gloss varnish to achieve a less matte effect. But I adore this product, and I'll be checking out their other offerings soon, as this is my first AK purchase, and I'm very happy with it. Purchase some, as well as gloss varnish, as a favor to yourself. For some parts, you'll definitely want to dilute it! Lol.
This is the best matte varnish product currently available. It's a big bottle that's reasonably priced and delivers on its promises. It creates an ultra-matte appearance. Anything will be dulled by it. This should be on your painting desk if you paint miniatures!.
I've tried every option I could think of. And there isn't anyone else who can match it.
Don't get me wrong, the finish is absolutely matte; however, if you don't use the product quickly enough, it begins to separate; mine separated to the point where it was completely unusable after a break from painting; the formula still needs work; however, it's too expensive to throw away just like that.
This is an excellent product that produces a perfectly flat surface. I thinned it with a few drops of ethyl alcohol before shooting it through a 0. With no issues, I used a 20 airbrush nozzle. I was able to finish the model in one sitting by applying thin coats of paint. This product outperforms Testors and any other brand I've used in the past, and I estimate that a single bottle will cover at least 8 to 10 1/35 scale tanks, if not more.
Painting is my favorite aspect of gaming, but I also like to play. This varnish provided a good clear coat while not causing my paint to become too dull. Although there was a slight dulling effect, which was to be expected, I am pleased with the results so far.
This is a game-changing product! I'm a reborn artist, and all of the matte varnish products I've used have left my dolls shiny over time. This item does exactly what it says on the tin. There will be no more gleaming reborn baby dolls!.
This is without a doubt one of the mattest finishes available. The liquid is very loose and does not need to be thinned for an airbrush with a reasonable needle size; the only disadvantage is that it will dull any metal it is sprayed on. After you've sprayed this, go back and paint those elements.
