How to apply polyurethane matte varnish

1
Prepare the surface
Make sure the surface is clean, dry and rigid.
2
Shake, do not dilute
Give the bottle a gentle shake and use the varnish straight from the bottle without adding water.
3
Apply thin coats
Brush on thin layers in a crisscross motion with a soft brush.
4
Let it dry between coats
Allow 6–8 hours drying time between coats. Apply more thin coats for extra protection.
5
Clean up
Wash your brush with soap and water straight after use.

Always test a small amount first

Surfaces, paints and previous coatings all behave differently. Brush a small test patch in an out-of-sight spot and let it dry before varnishing the whole piece.

This product saved my world. One of my art pieces I finished in satin turned out super glossy.
Enter Solid Solutions Matte Varnish and the piece is now matte- satin! Voila!
