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)

Great product

I have given it a four star only because I don’t know how it’s going to fair over the next year or so. I have applied it to furniture that has high traffic, a bed and breakfast. It is easy to apply in thin layers. I applied two or three times don’t shake the bottle gently turn it upside down when I’m mixing as it creates bubbles when brushing on.

Excellent cover on plaster .

Used on painted windowsills and furniture. Protects it grand.

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!

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 used on a step that I painted with Matte paint Its still good after a few months.

Super vernis et le vendeur m'a renvoyé gratuitement un flacon car mon colis a été perdu par le livreur !!! Je recommande Je 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.
