I use a number of Gamblin products already just hadn't gotten round to trying Gamvar.

Using a paper towel and Gamsol was able to easily wipe off Gamvar that had been applied a year earlier. This took only minutes and then was able to begin reworking the painting.<br /><br />I was told by a Gamblin rep to varnish within three weeks with Gamvar or wait 3-6 months. If you varnish within 3 weeks it becomes part of the paint film and is tougher to remove but does not hurt the durability over the long haul. You still repaint over it if it is part of the film. I apply it with one of those gray sponge brushes from the hardware store.Robert J. Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799208093956328662noreply@blogger.com
