Art Spectrum Matt Wax Varnish is a satin matt varnish made from beeswax and natural resin. Art Spectrum Matt Wax Varnish needs to be fully dry before buffing. Depending on environmental conditions (heat, cold, humidity, etc) and the thickness of the application, it would usually take a minimum of 2-3 days to fully dry. If the varnish is moved around when buffing or you are not seeing a sheen once buffed, it has not completely dried. Matt Wax Varnish can be rubbed and buffed to a sheen with a lint-free cloth (100% Polyester cloths are best to use on any artwork as they will not shed lint like cotton blends) Use Art Spectrum Gum Turpentine as solvent.
