Everything you need to know about varnish
In this post, we look at the different types of varnish we sell and explain why you might choose to finish your piece with them and which will work best. Pintyplus make matt, satin, and gloss varnishes all of which are clear and don’t yellow. They are easy to apply and provide a protective topcoat that is almost invisible.

You need to varnish?
There are a number of things to consider…
- Which paint have you used? (chalk paint requires finishing with either wax or varnish)
- Where is the object going to be located (varnish adds waterproofing and weather protection)
- How much wear is your object going to get? (additional layers of paint and/or varnish will ensure the paint lasts longer if it’s going to get a lot of contacts)
Varnish doesn’t actually add a significant extra cost to your project as you only need to apply one coat (we advise two or three of paint) You’ll find once you purchase it that you tend to have the same can open for a while and use it for several projects.
