Polyvine Decorators Varnish Dead Flat – Water Resistant Clear Varnish with UV Protection - Seals and Protects Emulsion, Acrylic Paint, Wallpaper, Wood, Furniture, Plaster & Fabric, 500ml

An excellent product, I used it to seal some shelves which I had painted in a matt vinyl emulsion and the result was brilliant! As near a matt finish as you could get with a varnish. I applied 3 coats, 12hrs drying between coats and its a perfect wipe clean surface. Its a bit alarming when applied because it is white and appears textured, I applied it with a foam roller, but if you just leave it alone to dry its all fine (see photos)

I was very hesitant about using this, given a few reviews but I thought i'd do my research, and im glad I did, with the right info and applying as recommended, it has worked perfectly to seal my outside painting. I used a mix of masonry paint and Indoor acrylic paints and even wood paint lol, so if it survives till next year I'll be impressed, if not i'll paint over it and have a go at painting something else but with proper outdoor paint or admit defeat and paint the wall black. The sealant really helped the pink acrylic paint pop! I have used two coats for the whole wall which is roughly 2.5m x 3m and I'd say theres at least 250ml left, so I may do a 3rd coat. It does give a slight sheen as shown in one of the pics and a further pic shows the op adjoining wall without the sealant , it's perfect for what I needed it for.

I've used it for my desk's top after the paint I used was scratching easy and dry at the touch.Worked great with two coats (quick drying and no smell)

After spending ages looking for a varnish to use on a newly painted media wall, I was drawn to this one. The results after 2 or 3 coats look great and seem hard wearing. It's easy enough to apply and dries relatively quickly too. The only observations I would make are despite being flat Matt, the finish has a slight sheen, and there is a slight darkening of the paint finish, but nothing major. Will definitely use again!

Very good product and worked well. Bought new kitchen cabinet doors which were Matt got a piece scanned to match paint for cornice but the paint was satin and looked darker and really shiny. Bought this and painted it on, it did a fantastic job saved me having to buy new cornice. Would recommend.

I needed a top coat/sealer for chalk paint that was totally matt finish. I tried a top brand polyurethane varnish beginning with ‘R’ claiming to be a ‘matt’ finish, it ruined all my hard work. Thankfully I only used it on my table legs and not all 8 chairs! It left yellow stains all over my nice white hand painted furniture and removed a lot of the chalk paint. It was far from being a Matt finish, more like a satin.Out of despair I gave this Polyvine Dead Flat a go. What a difference! A dream to apply and I can say with confidence that it does leave a totally Matt finish that’s so flat I can barely tell it’s there with no sheen at all. Works perfectly over chalk paint and maintains that lovely matt finish. The only way you can tell it’s on is by touch, it’s leaves a nice smooth finish rather than the dry chalky finish of the chalk paint which I think is a bonus for cleaning.Now I have my perfect combo for future furniture upcycling. Chalk paint and Polyvine.Tips:Once you’ve finished painting with your chalk paint, lightly sand the surface down, just enough to smooth the surface. Then apply 2 thin coats of Polyvine Dead Flat, no need to slather it on. Use a round and pointed natural bristle furniture brush for both the paint and top coat rather than a regular flat brush, it’s so much easier especially on things like chair spindles.

I have been doing a pine fireplace surround DIY project. I painted white Rustins primer on the wood, then applied 3 coats of Frankie & Stone white chalk paint - left the top as natural stain. Lightly sanded between each coat, wiped down with damp cloth then left to let the paint fully dry for 2 days.Applied 1st coat of Polyvine Satin finish (white bits only) with 10% water added, then 2 subsequent coats undiluted. Went on smoothly, very easy to work with and didn't lift any paint at all. Didn't change or darken the white chalk paint either. Left a very subtle sheen and is smooth to the touch. Brilliant product. Paint seems locked in well and still retains it's natural look.

Used on recommendation for sealing chalk paint on my first upcycle project. Had been disappointed with the paint I’d used and read reviews on the furniture wax from the same brand so I purchased this. Very glad I did. It’s a very good, economical and easy to use paint sealer. Goes on like a dream but it is quite runny so don’t overload your brush. Need to work quickly and decisively to avoid slight brush strokes visible but be weary it can drip so suggest you check this as you work. Dries very quickly. As for durability, I can’t comment yet. Would definitely recommend and buy again as it can be used on all manner of surfaces. No wastage. No smell. Water based so easy to clean brushes. Win win product!

Super vernis et le vendeur m'a renvoyé gratuitement un flacon car mon colis a été perdu par le livreur !!! Je recommandeJe me suis servie du vernis pour le banc , les plinthes et les portes que j'avais repeint en bleu ciel !

Matte is invisible on the flat farrow and ball wallpaper behind my counter. Yet I’ve spilled tomato sauce on it and just wiped it off with a damp cloth. Applying is as easy as dusting. No smell. Nothing gross or sticky. Do use multiple coats per instructions. So many products today are so terrible I’m just amazed at how simple this is and how well it works.

Barniz caro en comparación con otros pero el resutlado merece la pena. Deja la pintura muy aislada, haciendo que sea fácil limpiar el mueble. Lo he utilizado sobre chalk paint blanca y no amarillea. Recomendable.

I used this product on a wallpapering job that I've done for a client to protect the wallpaper in the bathroom.It worked well with 2 coats and 3 coats on some parts where water would get to it.The wallpaper wasn't the vinyl type.

Fácil de aplicar y seca rápido.
