technical query: acrylic varnish

Posted by Anyanka (My Page) on

After several years of using decorators' acrylic varnish successfully, I got worried about the longevity of the stuff and switched to a 'proper' acryclic varnish by Lascaux. This is much harder to handle, runs, drips, gets little bubbles in it.

Can anyone recommend a good acrylic varnish for professional use? I'm selling my paintings, hence feel the need to make sure that they have a reasonable life expectancy!

Lascaux is one of the best names in acrylics its hard to get used to them but they are the best. I swear by them

I've always used Damar, but I too am getting a little nervous about the longevity of it. Where is the best place to buy Lascaux?
