Krylon Artist Spray 11oz Kamar Varnish Fine Art

Krylon Kamar is an awesome product ....acts superb as a sealant for alcohol inked bases ...2 to 3 coats of which will make the substrate waterproof and resistance to other outdoor conditions... ...I have used this varnish on almost lots of my inked artworks ...turned out to be the best for my inked artworks 👌👌!!Never start my art without having them at hand ...I love the way Krylon Kamar works 😍😍...👌👌👏👏!!

Perfect for sealing alcohol based inks, remember to turn upside down and spray until clear once you’re done with each coat to stop it from getting blocked up

Love Love this product. It is the only spray clear to seal painted glass as it does not run, dries reasonably fast and is glossy. It is far superior that any of the other spray clear lacquer, polyurethane. The only issue is I cannot find it stock in any store in DFW. Home Depot Does not carry it, Walmart shows on their website that they have in stock but when you get there, it is no where to be found. Anyway, awesome product and does not mess up when you keep for a while or it does not seem to clog the nozzle either.

I have struggled for awhile with top coats for mixed media. As you may know, one thing will react with oil based but not water based etc. and often I am using old papers that who knows what they printed them with! After much online research I chose Kamar Varnish and was not disappointed. This particular piece is an eco-printed old book page, Staz-On ink in various colors, watercolor, Prismacolor Verithin pencils, and die cuts from TH papers. It is adhered to a canvas panel using Liquitex gel medium. I sprayed 2 light coats of Kamar Varnish on the finished piece. It did ‘intensify’ the colors a bit, but I actually liked that! It made it pop just a bit more. When it was wet some of the book text from the back side of the base piece was visible, but when it dried it was not. This varnish has a satin finish with my 2 light coats. My understanding is that if I wanted matte or gloss I could use a different top coat over this, or even work the piece more if I wanted to. I was happy with the result and decided to leave well enough alone :) If you have issues with clogging of the spray tip, you should know that with most sprays when you are finished for the day, shake the can, turn it upside down and give a quick spray to clean the tip. This product does have some odor to it- use in a well ventilated area. Not nearly as stinky as some products I’ve used, but I think that is subjective. 5 stars! If I find it ruins any aspect of future mixed media pieces I will update. But for now I’m a happy camper!!

It's a bit pricey, but worth every penny. This varnish was recommended to work with Sharpie Pens when painting rocks, as it does not run.
