Medium additive oil colour additive Dammar V3 Winsor & Newton Varnish V3 75ml

• A pale yellow finish varnish specifically designed for use on oil and alkyd paints. Once applied and dried, it provides a high gloss to the paint surface.

• It is important to note that this varnish tends to darken over time due to the nature of its components. This is common with many varnishes and should be considered when deciding to use it as a final finish.

• To apply the varnish, it is necessary to wait until the paint is completely dry, which can take 6 to 12 months, depending on the thickness of the paint layer and environmental conditions. It is important to allow the paint to cure properly before applying any varnish to avoid adhesion problems and improper drying.

• This varnish dries quickly, which can be beneficial in speeding up the process of finishing a painting. However, it is important to note that it should not be used as a medium or mixed directly with paint colours. Its main function is to provide a protective layer and a long-lasting gloss to the paint once it is completely dry.

• As it is removable with distilled turpentine, it offers the possibility to remove the varnish if necessary in the future, e.g. for restoration or deep cleaning of the paintwork.

• It is advisable to apply this varnish in warm, dry conditions for best results. Humidity and low temperatures can affect the drying process and the final finish.
