Matte Varnish - Gemini® Heat Set

Gemini® Heat Set Varnishes

Are all made with ingredients that are non-toxic and UV resistant with no additives.

They are designed to use straight out of the jar without thinning.

Matte Varnish:
Is designed to get an ultra matte effect by using it straight out of the jar without thinning and putting on a thin but full layer, pouncing off any extra. However, you can thin it with Gemini® Heat Set thinner to achieve other effects like priming problem areas.

Using a temperature between 265 and 270 F. and leaving it in for 12-15 min. seems to work the best. We know that 15 min. at 270 works good and also have tried 12 min. with pretty good results. We encourage you to experiment with your oven to see what time and temperature works best for you.
