Art/craft varnish VALLEJO Transparent gloss 200 ml – bottle

VALLEJO art/craft varnish Transparent gloss 200 ml in a bottle provides a clear, high-gloss protective finish for painted models, miniatures, crafts and mixed-media projects. Formulated for sealing acrylic paints and pigments, this transparent gloss varnish enhances surface shine while protecting work from light abrasion and handling. Supplied as a single 200 ml unit, it is suitable for hobbyists and workshop use where a durable glossy topcoat is required.

Advantages

The varnish is easy to apply and dries to a transparent gloss that preserves fine surface details. Its formulation improves resistance to impact, friction and general wear compared with untreated surfaces, while maintaining adhesion on previously painted or primed substrates. The product is compatible with acrylic paints and can be used to give models and crafts a uniform glossy appearance without obscuring textures and details.

Suitable for

• Sealing acrylic-painted models and miniatures
• Protecting craft and mixed-media projects
• Adding a high-gloss finish to plastic, resin and painted surfaces

Key specifications

• Finish: Transparent gloss
• Volume: 200 ml (bottle)
• Base: Acrylic formulation
• Application methods: Brush or airbrush (product compatible with airbrushing when appropriately thinned)
• Drying: Dries to a clear, hard gloss coating that preserves surface detail

How to use

Apply the varnish over fully dry acrylic paints or primers. For brush application, use light, even strokes to avoid pooling. For airbrushing, dilute the varnish as recommended by the airbrush manufacturer's guidance or with suitable thinners and adjust compressor pressure for a fine, even spray. Allow adequate drying time between coats to build up the desired gloss and protection level. Work in a well-ventilated area and test on a sample piece if compatibility with underlying finishes is uncertain.

Usage recommendations

For best results, apply in thin, even layers and permit each layer to dry before applying the next. When airbrushing, follow standard airbrush maintenance and cleaning procedures and use appropriate thinning for a consistent spray pattern. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and keep out of reach of children.
