Gamblin Gamvar Gloss Picture Varnish 16oz
Gamblin Gamvar Gloss Picture Varnish 16oz is a professional final varnish formulated to protect oil and acrylic paintings while bringing out the full depth and richness of colour. Developed by Gamblin in collaboration with the National Gallery of Art, it provides a clear, durable gloss finish that saturates colours and unifies surface appearance. Gamvar is easy to apply, removable for conservation purposes and can be used once an oil painting is thoroughly dry to the touch, allowing the paint to continue curing underneath the varnish layer. The 16oz size is ideal for artists, studios and galleries that regularly varnish finished works and want a reliable museum quality finish.
How to Use
Ensure the painting is dry
Apply Gamvar Gloss Picture Varnish 16oz once the painting is thoroughly dry to the touch. This is usually between 2 weeks and 2 months depending on the thickness of the paint. Thin paint layers may be ready in about 2 to 3 weeks, while thicker applications may require longer.
Application
Use a clean, soft varnish brush and apply a thin, even coat across the surface of the painting. Work gently and avoid over brushing.
Even coverage
Brush in one direction and maintain a light, consistent application to achieve a uniform gloss finish across the painting.
Drying
Allow the varnish to dry in a dust free environment to ensure a clear, even surface.
Tip
Before varnishing, gently press a fingernail into the thickest paint area. If it does not leave a dent the painting is ready to varnish. Always apply thin coats to maintain clarity and ensure the varnish remains removable in the future.
