Golden MSA (Mineral Spirit Acrylic) Varnish with UVLS (UltraViolet Light Stabilizers) is a Mineral Spirit Acrylic-borne resin system. MSA Varnish forms a tough and flexible protective finish that provides an increased resistance to the harmful effects of UltraViolet radiation. Recommended for either interior or exterior use. For use on acrylics, oils, tempera, watercolour, and various other media. It reduces dirt penetration and surface marring, offering an extremely level film with less foam and fewer pinholes. Removable with turpentine after drying. Available in gloss, satin, and matt. Health Labeled (HL) Product.
For acrylics, an isolation coat is recommended before applying the MSA Varnish - this will help protect the surface if the varnish is ever removed. It will also seal any absorbent areas, which will result in a more even application of varnish.
MSA Varnishes must be thinned before use.
