FAQ's
Achieving a "perfect' finish using Varnish

What is the best way to apply varish?

Apply in thin even coats and allow adequate dry time in between coats. 

What is the difference between Matte & Satin Finish? 

The matte varnish is a truly flat finish to preserve the matte quality of Wise Owl Chalk Synthesis Paint and the Satin Varnish has a slight sheen.

When should I use Varnish?

Wise Owl Varnish provides industrial-grade strength suitable for Kitchen Cabinets and high-wear, high-traffic areas.

Will Varnish go yellow over time?

Wise Owl’s Matte and Satin Varnish is unlike any other water-based topcoat. Our varnish formula is truly revolutionary. We utilize a crystal clear resin to yield serious protection that will not yellow or discolor whites due to the crystal clear technology.​
