How to Apply Vallejo Satin Varnish Correctly

1. Ensure the paint is completely dry before applying the varnish — waiting at least 24 hours is recommended.

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

3. Apply in thin, even coats. Several light layers are better than one thick one.

4. Allow drying between coats if applying more than one layer.

5. Avoid high humidity or dusty environments while the varnish is curing for best results.
