Polyvine Decorator's Dead Flat Varnish Pint / 500ml

I have been using Polyvine products for many years. This matte/flat sealer is great to use over Annie Sloan chalk paint, as it will not change or degrade the finish. It can also be used over Annie Sloan waxes. I am using this currently to seal over an Annie Sloan project- painting a putrid colored kitchen tile backsplash in a solid matte black. Much cheaper than ripping out and replacing it!

It did not discolor my wallpaper at all. You can't tell where the varnish started and stopped. Love the product.

I need a quality varnish to seal my decoupaged wood coasters to be resistant to heat and water. This also will protect wood items you want to put outside. Just make sure you read before purchasing can be used for outside. Like this comes in a variety of shines or no shine. It takes a long curing time but when finished this you will be glad you used this. Also Important that when these are stacked in a coaster holder they do not stick together. Easy cleaning brushes. Just wash with soap and water.

Matte is invisible on the flat farrow and ball wallpaper behind my counter. Yet I’ve spilled tomato sauce on it and just wiped it off with a damp cloth. Applying is as easy as dusting. No smell. Nothing gross or sticky. Do use multiple coats per instructions. So many products today are so terrible I’m just amazed at how simple this is and how well it works.

Polyvine deal flat varnish is the best for hand painted furniture that needs to be protected - like tables and other pieces that may have frequent or heavy use. It looks like a hand-waxed finish but is MUCH more durable.

It applied easily. Two thin coats to cover the wallpaper in my bathroom used up only half of the bottle. Did not stain or streak the self-sticking wallpaper.

This stuff saved my butt when my cat started scratching the vintage bamboo wallpaper. Replaced the frayed and loose fragments so it not only looks better, but seems to deter my cat from scratching. It's not terribly viscous so a little goes a long way.

I bought some of this product a year ago and was pleased with how flat the finish was - better than anything I have tried to date. I purchased more after creating a sample with my wallpaper with the old bottle. When I applied the finish from the new bottle (stirred well) I ended up with a pearl/satin shine that looked nothing like my sample. I applied the new finish to half the sample and half was shiny. Do not assume this product is 'flat'. I used this on predominately white wall paper which I will need to fix as the sheen detracts from the print. Purchasing a flattening agent to add to this product but I should not have to.
