Maimeri Varnish for Oil Paints 75 ml
Maimeri varnish for oil paints (No. 666) is an oily painting varnish with a straw-yellow color, designed to be mixed directly with oil paint while painting. Thanks to its content of ketone and acrylic resin, white spirit, and poppy oil, it prevents uneven drying between layers, increases the brightness and saturation of shades, and improves paint adhesion to the surface. This Italian product from a manufacturer with a tradition dating back to 1923 also softens brushstrokes and extends the working time of the paint.
