DecoArt Americana DuraClear Ultra Matte Varnish, 8 fl.oz

This varnish delivers a smooth, ultra-matte finish with great coverage. It dries clear, doesn’t yellow, and provides reliable protection without altering the colors underneath. Excellent quality and performance.

Works well over acrylic paintings on canvas.

This varnish is really good for paper mache. It washes off brushes etc with water which is so convenient and easy. It is permanent and creates good protection for your crafts, paper etc. This varnish dries quickly and it is a true matte finish. I find a bottle to go a long way. I varnished many paper mache pieces and still have almost a full bottle. Easy to use and a good price point.

Amazing! I bought a different brand of Matt varnish the other day and it was super shiny, this ultra Matt one is absolutely perfect for my project! Genuinely cannot be happier

Not truly a matte finish. Leaves a very slight sheen

Went on easier and smoother than another varnish I use and there weren’t any paintbrush streaks when it dried.

I recently joined a group that paints and hides rocks (in plain sight) to be found and hidden again. It's a bright spot in an otherwise tension-filled world. The group advises using this product to seal paint onto rocks before hiding them. I like it for a number of reasons - I can just take the lid off and dip a paint brush in for no waste. It doesn't have a strong odor that's offensive when working on projects indoors. It dries quickly, while still leaving artwork crisp beneath it. It seems to bring out base colors in the rock like polishing would, while still having a matte finish that I prefer. I will definitely reorder this product again when the first bottle runs out.

I sculpt with Cosclay, and this truly matte varnish is perfect for protecting paint layers for washes or antiquing techniques. It looks great with no shine. Easy clean up with water. The only true matte finish I've found!
