Why choose DecoArt DuraClear?
DecoArt DuraClear varnishes are known for their ease of use and durable protection:
-
Transparent finish – non-yellowing and preserves the colors of your painting or decoration.
-
Tough, scratch-resistant paint – ideal for objects that are frequently touched or moved.
-
Water-based – low-odor, easy to apply and brushes can be cleaned with water.
-
Suitable for many surfaces – including canvas, wood, paper, ceramic (decorative), stone and more.
Compared to many standard varnishes and lacquers from hobby shops, DecoArt DuraClear offers a combination of clarity, flexibility, and adhesion. This makes it particularly suitable for acrylic paintings and decorative projects that require a professional-looking finish over time.
Selection guide: which DecoArt DuraClear lacquer do you need?
Not sure which DecoArt DuraClear variant is best for your work? Then consider the following:
-
Gloss level
-
Matte : for a non-glossy, calm surface without glare – ideal for realistic or subtle artwork.
-
Satin : A soft, semi-gloss finish – great for decorations and paintings with added depth.
-
Gloss : provides a strong shine and colour intensification – perfect if you want to make colours “pop”.
-
Surface & use
-
All options are suitable for canvas and paintings ; choose based on the desired look.
-
For decorative objects (e.g. trays, picture frames, wooden signs), a higher gloss or satin lacquer is often popular because it is easier to clean.
-
Number of layers
-
One layer provides light protection.
-
Multiple thin layers provide a stronger, more even protective layer and a more beautiful finish.
Apply DecoArt DuraClear preferably with a soft brush or a wide, flat brush and work in thin layers for the best result.
