You will need to decide if you are going to use an acrylic polymer varnish or an acrylic resin varnish. The best way to seal an acrylic painting is to use a varnish or a sealant specifically made for acrylic paints. Apply it evenly using a brush or spray, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying time and application. How long do you have to wait to varnish an acrylic painting? However, it is possible to use Mod Podge to seal acrylic paints onto canvas. It is not ideal for professional work meant to last and it may affect the aging of your work. However, some hobbyists find no issues in the short term with it. If you want to try it, do a test patch first to see how it turns out. How Soon Can You Varnish an Acrylic Painting?

Specification CoverageApproximately 6-8 sq metres per litre. ApplicationBrush or Roller. Drying TimeUnder normal circumstances it should be touch dry in 1-2 hrs if well ventilated and conditions are dry. StorageStore away from naked flames. Secure lid on firmly to prevent spillage. An isolation coat is a clear, permanent layer applied to acrylic paintings before varnishing. It’s necessary to prevent damage to the painting when later removing varnish, which should be done every five to ten years of a painting’s life, as dust and dirt build up. MSA varnishes are clear when wet, and have self-leveling qualities, it means you don’t have to worry about brush strokes. They are a little bit clear when dried than water-based. You are able to tone down the gloss or create a specific finish by mixing the acrylic gloss varnish with a matte or satin varnish to suit your work and your specific art needs. Also Golden has a mineral spirit varnish option that can actually work on acrylic paint with proper isolation coat.It is important to note that if you are wanting to use an acrylic resin varnish, you will need to first apply an isolation coat over the painting on the canvas. Use the varnish over finished work to enhance and increase color depth, which brings new dimensions to your art. If you use a removable varnish and you think that someday the varnish might need to be removed for any reason, you'll need to apply an isolation coat before you varnish the painting. The isolation coat acts as a barrier between your painting and the varnish, protecting your painting from the chemicals that remove the varnish.

Water-based varnishes can be cleaned up while wet using soap and water and removed from brushes or paintings when dry with Galeria Varnish Remover. The solvent-based varnish or Mineral Spirit Acrylic (MSA) varnish dries harder than water-based varnish.

Once the painting surface is clean, a new coat of Soluvar Matt Varnish may be reapplied to surface. It is self-levelling varnish so will not hold brush strokes. After you’ve finished, ensure that you shield the work from dust while it dries, using a protective plastic cover known as a tent. This varnish is low-odor, permanent, and durable, made with water-based technology. The varnish is translucent when wet, and dries clear. You may use a varnish that is designed particularly for acrylic paints. Several well-known brands such as Liquitex, Golden, and Winsor & Newton offer such varnishes.
