Golden Polymer Varnish with UVLS (UltraViolet Light Stabilizers) is a waterborne acrylic polymer varnish that dries to a protective, flexible, dust-resistant surface. Use it as a final sealant over acrylic paint.

Polymer Varnishes must be thinned before use. They have been formulated thicker than traditional varnishes, to maintain an even suspension of matting agents. This ensures more consistency in surface reflectance.

Varnishes are available in a highly reflective Gloss, and an exceptionally flat Matte. The matte varnish will lighten dark value colors. This varnish is removable with ammonia for restoration purposes. For interior use only.

Golden Acrylic Clear Tar Gel Mediums is designed to produce a stringy, tar-like feel. This gel is excellent for ''dripping'' over surfaces. The more it's mixed, the stringier it becomes. Letting the mixture sit before use allows foam bubbles to rise.

Golden Acrylic Gel Mediums also act as adhesives in collage and mixed media projects that dry to form continuous films, offering excellent flexibility and resistance to chemicals, water, and ultraviolet light.

One of Golden's thickest gels, Golden High Solid Acrylic Gel Mediums hold high peaks and are useful for simulating oil paint behavior. They contain less water and more acrylic solids, so they shrink less than other gels. The mediums retain texture, brushstrokes, and tool marks.

Gels can be thought of as colorless paint, as they are composed of 100% acrylic polymers similar to acrylic paint.

Thinner than Golden Heavy Body Acrylic colors, the Golden Soft Acrylic Gel Mediums are moderately pourable, hold only slight peaks, and are ideal for glazing and other techniques that require transparency. Thinned with water at a 2:1 ratio, it can also be used to create an isolation coat over acrylic paintings to seal the surface, lower the absorbency of the surface, allow for a more uniform varnish application, and protect the acrylic paint during varnish removal.
