Zelcol Satin Varnish is a protective finish designed for oil paintings. It is made from acrylic resin, white spirits, and silica, creating a milky liquid that dries to a semi-matt, non-yellowing glossy film. This varnish is locally produced in South Africa and is highly regarded for its quality and affordability.

Artists use Zelcol Satin Varnish to shield their artwork from dirt and damage while preserving the vibrancy of the colors. It is recommended to allow the painting to dry for 6-12 months before applying the varnish. Once applied, it forms a smooth, transparent layer over the surface, enhancing the painting’s durability and appearance. If needed, the varnish can be removed using white spirits, allowing for adjustments or reapplication.

Available in glass bottles of various sizes, such as 100ml and 500ml, Zelcol Satin Varnish caters to different needs. Its professional-grade results make it a popular choice among artists looking to protect and enhance their oil paintings.
