Frequently Asked Questions

Is Brustro matte varnish removable?
No. The maker describes it as permanent, so it stays on the painting once dry.

How is matte different from the satin and gloss varnish?
Matte removes shine for a flat, low glare look; satin keeps a soft sheen and high gloss gives the strongest shine.

Can I use it on oil paintings?
It is sold for acrylic work. Only use a varnish over oil paint once the oil painting is completely dry, and test first.
