The product seemed like a nice varnish. So clear and low odor. I applied it to my acrylic painting with a brush. Seemed to go on nicely. Then it began to dry. It fisheyed and separated everywhere. I’m not sure I’ll be able to salvage the painting. I would advise against spending a lot of money on an inferior product. Very disappointing.
