How to Apply Vallejo Matt Varnish 70520

1. Ensure all base paint layers are fully dry — wait at least 24 hours after the final coat of paint.

2. Shake well before use to mix the resin thoroughly.

3. Apply in thin, even layers. Multiple light coats are preferable to one thick coat to avoid drips or buildup.

4. Allow drying time between coats, depending on temperature and humidity conditions.

5. Optional: once fully dry, lightly sand if needed to smooth surfaces before the final coat.

6. Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place to maintain product quality.
