Glazed painting technique

Glazes are colour layers which make the substrate transparent - a very interesting thing, e.g. for wood to accentuate the nature of the grain.
Besides a covering paint application, glazed painting is even possible using Decormatt Acryl. For this, Decormatt Acryl is thinned with some water. A final application with colourless Marabu varnishes will protect your designs.Transparent painting/glazed painting technique

Glazes are colour layers which make the substrate transparent - a very interesting thing, e.g. for wood to accentuate the nature of the grain. But even structured papers (e.g. Japanese paper) and the like can be effectively "dyed". No limits are set to your taste and imagination! Besides a covering paint application, glazed painting is even possible using Decormatt and Decorlack Acryl. For this, the Decormatt/Decorlack Acryl paint is thinned with some water. A final application with colourless Marabu varnishes will protect your designs.

Limitation

The clear varnishes on the basis of organic solvents and the spray varnishes are not suitable for applying to oil paints and other solvent-based paints such as FIMO.Milky?

All varnishes appear milky in the jar and after application. The desired effect will appear after drying, though – transparent glossy, matt or satin-finish.Cleaning brushes

Clean brushes with Marabu Cleaner & Thinner or benzine immediately after use.Protective coat for Basic Acryl

We recommend applying one of our clear varnishes to protect outdoor objects or objects with mechanical wear.Diluting

If solvent-based varnishes have become to thick, e.g. through drying out, simply add a little Marabu Cleaner & Thinner.Weather resistance

Painting or spraying with the clear varnishes achieves good weather resistance and a dirt-repellent effect.
