The Zelcol Artists Gloss Varnish for is a high-grade, solvent-based topcoat formulated in South Africa to protect fully cured oil paintings from dust, dirt, and UV degradation. It brushes on smoothly and dries to a brilliant, non-yellowing high-gloss protective film that dramatically enhances color depth and contrast. The traditional archival formula creates a tough yet flexible barrier that can be safely removed by conservators for restoration cleaning in the future.
