Archival quality varnish for oil, alkyd, and acrylic. InstaVar™ by Tusc & Pine enriches the colors in your painting under a protective, even sheen. The nearly odorless, crystal-clear varnish does not yellow with age. Once your painting is dry to the touch, preserve it by brushing on a thin layer of InstaVar™. You will instantly notice that your colors have a brilliance and depth of color they didn't have before. InstaVar™ may be applied when the paint is dry to the touch and firm in its thickest sections. Some paintings might take 2 weeks to dry, while those in humid areas might take 2 months. If necessary, you can safely remove the varnish with StudioSolv™. Mimik Badger Mottler Brushes contain a groundbreaking synthetic fiber that mimics natural badger brushes. The filaments are thin at the root and thicker at the tip, just like a badger’s fur.
