This water-based, non-toxic varnish dries clear and hard within 72 hours, offering a flexible, non-yellowing surface ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Compatible with Liquitex acrylic paints and mediums, it enhances color vibrancy while ensuring long-lasting durability. ## Description Liquitex offers the broadest range of acrylic mediums to inspire creativity at every stage of the painting process. Varnish Mediums protect the painting surface from the environment and protect the pigments from ultraviolet light. Additionally, varnishes can be used to change or unify a painting’s surface sheen. Liquitex varnishes come in several different sheens which can all be intermixed for a customized sheen. Liquitex Archival Permanent Varnish Finishing Medium is a low-odor, permanent and durable medium with water-based technology, translucent when wet, clear when dry. Resists discoloring (non-yellowing, non-fogging) due to humidity heat and ultraviolet light. Can be used with Spray Paint, Heavy Body, Soft Body. Dries to a non-tacky, hard, flexible surface that is resistant to dirt retention. Hard, archival, non-yellowing and water-resistant when dry. Protects acrylic color from harsh elements. For interior and exterior use. APPLICATION: Apply as a final varnish over dry acrylic paint. Varnish surface and environment must be clean, dry and dust free. Acrylic paintings must be completely dried and cured for 48-72 hours before varnishing. Application may be done by brush or spray. Generally a sprayed application will be thinner, smoother and more even. Rolling or sponging application is not recommended. Caution: Acrylic paints and mediums become increasingly brittle in cold weather. Do not apply below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Visit our Liquitex desertcart Storefront for full product assortment. Review: Very Nice Glossy Finish! - I was looking for an alternative to resin and this seemed be a front runner based on my research so my review has some comparisons. I’ve used this product a few times so far. It does have a really nice glossy finish (video is 2 coats dried, I will probably do 3). It’s not as glossy and smooth as resin (of course), but it’s a solid runner up (and barely has a smell!). I will say it is pretty finicky to work with. Make sure you practice on a few samples before using on something you really care about. -The consistency is very watery and milky. This makes it difficult to grab all the surface area. Make sure your piece is super clean (remove oils) before applying -It does not self-level like resin -It takes at least a day to cure enough to handle -It will likely bubble as you apply, I did “heat” some bubbles out like I do with resin -You’ll want to apply is quickly because if your covering acrylic paint, and go over it too many times, it will lift your pigment I sand my edges after I apply the top coat so I will have to see if this stands up (not yet tested), but it dries pretty hard so I’m not anticipating an issue. In summary, I’d say it’s a good alternative and I will continue to use it. Review: Fantastic high-gloss finish and strong protection! - I recently used the Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish on my finished acrylic paintings and I’m highly impressed. I thinned it slightly with water to help with a smooth, even application, and it worked beautifully. Once dry, it delivers a true high-gloss finish that really enhances the depth and vibrancy of the colors—my artwork looks sharper, richer, and more polished. A great final touch that also provides lasting protection! ## Features - Archival; Permanent; Non-Removable; Gloss finish - Lightweight, non-toxic; Dries to a non-tacky, hard, flexible surface; Non-yellowing and water-resistant when dry - Includes 8-oz / 237ml bottle of medium - Intermixable with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Paint Colors and Mediums. - Conforms to ASTM D4236; Safe for educational use ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0060KUW70 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #570 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #25 in Art Paints | | Brand | Liquitex | | Brand Name | Liquitex | | Color | High Gloss | | Color Code | Not Available | | Container Type | Bottle | | Coverage | 23 square feet per 237ml | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 7,382 Reviews | | Dry Time In Hours | 72 | | Finish Type | High-Gloss | | Full Cure Time | 72 hours | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00094376945676 | | Included Components | Bottle | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Waterproof | False | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Liquitex High Gloss Varnish-8oz | | Item Volume | 8 fluid ounces | | Item Weight | 7.04 ounces | | Manufacturer | ColArt Americas | | Model Name | Liquitex High Gloss Varnish-8oz | | Model Number | 126608 | | Paint Type | Acrylic | | Part Number | 126608 | | Size | 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Special Feature | Resistant to aging | | Special Features | Resistant to aging | | Specific Uses For Product | Interior/Exterior | | Surface Recommendation | Paper | | UPC | 094376945676 | | Unit Count | 8 Fluid Ounces | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Liquitex - **Color:** High Gloss - **Finish Type:** High-Gloss - **Item Volume:** 8 fluid ounces - **Paint Type:** Acrylic - **Size:** 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) - **Special Feature:** Resistant to aging - **Specific Uses For Product:** Interior/Exterior - **Surface Recommendation:** Paper - **Unit Count:** 8 Fluid Ounces ## Images ![Professional High Gloss Varnish, 237ml (8-oz) | 100% Acrylic Polymer Varnish High Gloss Sheen, Protects & Resists Dirt Retention, Increases Brightness, Resists Discoloration - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rD1mXFF3L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Nice Glossy Finish! *by J***N on July 17, 2021* I was looking for an alternative to resin and this seemed be a front runner based on my research so my review has some comparisons.

I thinned it slightly with water to help with a smooth, even application, and it worked beautifully.

A great final touch that also provides lasting protection! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this stuff! Great for miniatures! Great with airbrush! *by M***L on April 25, 2018* I love this stuff, it is high quality and stable. For miniatures painting, I use it for various special effects, such as a pre-treatment for oil washes, and as a tough protectant. Especially for lightweight plastic miniatures - when applied as an overcoat, you can put painted miniatures so treated and put them in a paper bag and shake em up pretty good before any paint damage would occur. Not recommended of course but against the wear of storage trays and foams this will protect your paint from rubbing off. In cases where you don't want the finish so shiny Vallejo makes a Matte version of this product, or overcoat this with a spray matte finish to tone down the shine if needed. This product is also great for many other applications, has nearly no smell, is non toxic, cleans easily with water, or warm soapy water if it gets sticky. If it sets harder it can be undone with Isopropyl Alcohol, or a good long soak in Simple Green can break it down unless it's had years to 'fossilize' then it can be pretty tough to undo, but still possible which is a good thing. I got the 32 oz bottle which should be a lifetime supply and I can also share some with my gaming buddies to help kick up their painting level. I thin it a bit with Vallejo Airbrush Thinner and blast away with my cheap airbrush (don't use your prime airbrush for varnishes) too. Build it up in thin coats for professional results on many different media. Clean airbrush immediately after and don't let it sit for any length of time or it gets gummy in there. ## Frequently Bought Together - Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish, 237ml (8-oz) - Liquitex BASICS Matte Varnish, 250ml, 8.4-oz - Liquitex Professional Matte Medium, 237ml (8-oz) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4737406-professional-high-gloss-varnish-237ml-8-oz-100-acrylic-polymer](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/4737406-professional-high-gloss-varnish-237ml-8-oz-100-acrylic-polymer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
