When painting is dry to the touch, you can InstaVar it!

InstaVar™ Gloss Varnish by Tusc & Pine enriches the colors in your painting under a protective, even sheen. Archival quality varnish for oils, alkyds, and acrylics, the nearly odorless, crystal-clear varnish does not yellow with age. Once your painting is dry to the touch, preserve it by brushing on a thin layer of InstaVar™. You will instantly notice that your colors have a brilliance and depth of color they didn't have before.

Key Features:
  • Archival quality gloss picture varnish
  • Crystal-clear, non-yellowing, and nearly odorless
  • Saturates color and adds new depth
  • Can be used as a retouch varnish
  • Acts as a protective coat
  • Dries in 24 hours
  • Removable with StudioSolv™
  • Paints made in the USA
Perfect For:
  • Varnishing oils, alkyds, and acrylics
  • Brush application
  • Enriching colors
  • Altering paint sheen
  • Boosting color saturation
  • Giving your work an even gloss sheen
  • Bringing up dull sunken areas in a painting
  • Airplane travel
 

InstaVar™ may be applied when the paint is dry to the touch and firm in its thickest sections. Some paintings might take 2 weeks to dry, while those in humid areas might take 2 months.

If necessary, you can safely remove the varnish with StudioSolv™.

InstaVar™ may be applied when the paint is dry to the touch and firm in its thickest sections. Some paintings might take 2 weeks to dry, while those in humid areas might take 2 months.

If necessary, you can safely remove the varnish with StudioSolv™.

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.
