Replacing the lid during a varnishing session can help reduce VOC levels in the air. Always work in a well-ventilated area. For your safety, always wash your hands immediately after use, especially before eating. Store the varnish in an airtight container out of reach of children.
Safe For Travel By Air!
InstaVar™ has a flashpoint of 144°F which classifies it as a combustible liquid by DOT regulations, however, it is considered safer than varnishes with lower flashpoints. InstaVar™ also conforms to FAA and TSA guidelines and can be safely transported by airplane, making it a convenient option for artists who travel.
The 3.4 oz bottle is the perfect carry-on size, while larger sizes can be packed in your checked bag.
While InstaVar™ is currently allowed by FAA guidelines, we recommend always checking current regulations before traveling. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience, please bring a printed copy of the SDS and travel guidelines to show at baggage check. If the flight is international, please check the policy of your destination country.
