Polyvine Decorators Varnish Dead Flat – Water Resistant Clear Varnish with UV Protection - Seals and Protects Emulsion, Acrylic Paint, Wallpaper, Wood, Furniture, Plaster & Fabric, 2L

I’m very happy with this varnish. It applies smoothly, dries quickly and leaves a clean, clear finish. The water resistance is excellent — exactly as described. Perfect for protecting decorations and wood surfaces. Definitely worth the money.

Good varnish and dry quick

I purchased this to protect a table I had decorated using emulsion paint. Ordinary varnish dried with a yellow finish which looked awful. After some research I discovered this water soluble varnish and I have to say it is brilliant. It looks like frothy milk when you apply it. I used a non shed brush and applied 3 coats. It has very little odour and it dries to a perfect invisible finish. Being so impressed with the coverage and protection of my painted table I decided to use this varnish on a reclaimed oak dining table which only had a thin wax for protection and so was covered in water stains. After a quick sand and 3 coats of polyvine dead flat varnish I now have a dining table which does not have any stains and I don't panic any more when I see a cup or glass on it without a coaster. The finish is amazing, you really wouldn't think the wood had any finish on it at all as there is no hint of varnish on the wood but yet gives a descent amount of protection. I don't think either table would be protected from hot plates or cups but for general spillages this water soluble varnish does a great job.Very impressed with this product and being water soluble you clean your brushes with water and the varnish itself is much better for the environment.Chuffed!

The POLYVINE Quick-Drying Acrylic Clear Decorators Varnish Dead Flat is a fantastic product for anyone looking to achieve a smooth, matte finish on their projects.

Excellent varnish, good value

Wanted to protect new wooden I ternal doors …without darkening the colour of the wood…. Did a great job ! Easy to apply and a lovely soft Sheen finish “

I was recommended this product by a friend who renovates lots of furniture. Although she uses a matt version, I wanted a satin finish to give a more durable finish to a shoe cupboard and a pine dressing table stool which I had just finished painting in Rust-Oleum chalk paint, so that is what I ordered. It gives a lovely sheen to the paint and is great for regularly used items which need to have a more durable finish. As I was covering chalk paint, I followed the recommendations for some water to be added for the first coat, if the surface being painted was porous. Then I added a following coat without water added. I used a foam roller to apply this and it went on beautifully, went a long way and dried quickly meaning another coat can be added without having to wait hours on end. Rollers and brushes can be washed in the sink quickly and easily as it is a water based product. After reading the reviews, I see that it can be used to coat wallpaper, so I plan to buy the matt version to protect my Laura Ashley wallpaper in my bathroom. I’d highly recommend this versatile product, which is easy to apply and gives an attractive satin finish.

I used this as protective coating on parts of painted banister that get a lot of hand contact as last time I just painted the paint wore off quickly. I searched how to use it as never used anything like this before. Do not shake as this creates bubbles. You should slowly invert bottle 5 times and then pour out required amount. Then stir which is an important step and wait a few minutes for it to settle. Apply thinly. For my job recommendation was 3 coats. You have to be careful as it runs very easily so keep checking for the first 10 mins. Even though I thought I'd put first coat on thinly it ran a bit. I found it quite difficult to use as it's hard to see when applying. Also even though I used a brand new brush and container it just seems to pick up tiny hairs from nowhere! Finish was OK, hoped it would have been better as I'd put a lot of effort into trying to do a good job of it but maybe that's just my inexperience. It is a small bottle but perfect amount for my requirements and still have about half left. A little goes a long way. Even though it says you can reapply in a few hours I waited 24 hours after each coat just to make sure. Also it apparently takes 5 days to fully cure so I've covered up the top of both finials with a small box.
