Zelcol Satin Varnish from Zellen: A Reliable Finish for Oil Paintings
This varnish by Zellen is a high-quality protective coating designed for oil paintings. This varnish provides a semi-matt finish, balancing between a glossy and matte appearance to enhance the depth and vibrancy of colors while reducing glare.
- Composition and Properties
Formulated with acrylic resin, white spirits, and silica, this Satin Varnish dries to a non-yellowing film, ensuring long-term preservation of artwork. The varnish is a milky liquid when applied but dries to a transparent protective layer. It effectively shields paintings from dust, dirt, and environmental damage, maintaining their original look over time.
- Application and Removal
Artists should allow their oil paintings to dry for 6 to 12 months before applying the varnish to prevent interference with the curing process. The varnish should be spread evenly across the surface to create a smooth, protective layer. If adjustments or removal are needed, white spirits can be used to lift the varnish without damaging the underlying paint.
- Packaging and Availability
Zelcol Satin Varnish is available in 100ml and 500ml glass bottles, catering to different artistic needs. Its locally made production in South Africa ensures accessibility and affordability for artists seeking a professional-grade finish.
Whether you’re preserving a masterpiece or adding a final touch to a new work, Zelcol Satin Varnish offers durability, clarity, and ease of use, making it a trusted choice among artists.
