Directions

Preparation and use of Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV is the same as for the standard version, with the following reservations: At least two coats are always required, each diluted with about 25% of water, to guarantee the necessary UV absorption effect. Allow about 4-6 hours drying time between coats. Protection against UV rays is only achieved by applying Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV as the final stage. Mixing the product with the paints has no effect. Naturally, Lascaux Acrylic Transparent Varnish-UV can also be used for interior work but this is not strictly necessary.

Coverage

Approx 40-70 ml/m2 per coat, depending on the support and application.

Notes
