SpectraFix Natural Glass Varnish 16 oz

Natural Glass Brush-On Varnish, formulated from milk, casein, and beeswax, is ideal for watercolours, gouache, drawing media, collage, inks, or as a medium when mixed with your colours. It is a pioneering water-based bio-polymer varnish and painting medium derived from milk casein and beeswax, enhanced with natural ingredients to increase flexibility and stability. It dries quickly, forming a water-resistant, semi-gloss coating. Suitable as a varnish or medium for a range of materials (excluding oil pastels) on nearly all surfaces, including canvas, paper, Yupo, ceramic, stone, glass, leather, fabric (not washable), wood, gourds, jewellery, and more. It allows reworking, removal, overpainting, layering, or use as a pouring medium. Once dry, the surface remains pleasantly non-sticky and does not need Glassine or separating films to prevent sticking. It can be gently cleaned with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt.

Pastel and watercolour artists no longer need to frame their works behind glass. This update addresses issues such as reflections, glare, breakage risk, and additional costs. Natural Glass makes shipping and displaying artworks easier. Its bright surface enhances colour depth and offers protection against scratches and moisture. The vivid pigments remain vibrant; highlights are preserved, and colours stay lively. Sometimes pigments may appear more luminous. Like all SpectraFix products, Natural Glass cleans with water, is completely non-toxic, free of irritating fumes, and safe for indoor use.

IDEAL FOR:

• Compatible with all painting and drawing media, this product is ideal for pastels, watercolours, acrylics, and more, but not suitable for oil pastels.
• It supports a variety of surfaces, including canvas, paper, Yupo, ceramic, stone, glass, leather (not washable), fabric (not washable), wood, gourds, jewellery, and more. It enables pastels and watercolours to be displayed without glass, eliminating glare and reflections and reducing the costs associated with traditional glass framing.
• The material stays non-yellowing, keeping clarity and colorlessness over time. It provides UV protection by shielding against harmful ultraviolet rays; however, it does not prevent fading of inferior or non-lightfast pigments.
• Therefore, it is recommended to choose pigments with the highest lightfastness ratings and to be cautious with student-grade or economy materials. Artistic works should not be left exposed to prolonged direct sunlight.

• Enhanced Pigment Brilliance: Preserves highlights and colours, making pigments more luminous.
• Easy Shipping & Display: Reduces worries about glass breakage, and your artwork is ready for immediate hanging.
