Varathane Diamond Exterior Finish, Water-Based Gloss:

The Review:

I love this stuff!!!

There are several reasons I love this product and its interior finish equivalent:

It’s relatively low cost,

covers lots of surfaces,

allows for clean and super clear coatings,

dries well to a diamond coat that doesn’t feel sticky to touch like most acrylic varnishes do,

can be mixed easily with acrylic colors to make super thin hue coats,

and cleans easily.

It’s allowed me to achieve greater depth in my paintings and even to imitate the oily brilliance of using oils.
