Polyvine Decorators Varnish - Water Resistant Clear Varnish with UV Protection - Seals and Protects Emulsion Paint, Wallpaper, Interior Wood, Furniture, Plaster & Fabric - Dead Flat Finish, 500ml

absolutely fab product, a bit pricey but well worth it.

This is great protection for cabinets ,iv used on painted kitchen units and two coats does the job ,I always buy this brand , it's not the cheapest out there but you get what you pay for

Easy to apply (a little goes a long way) and so far seems like a good durable protection for my kitchen cupboards. Only problem is it does leave a sheen which can alter the appearance so if you want to keep the exact paint colour this may not be the best option. The photo is after a couple of hours, the cupboards on the left have the varnish applied. I will say it did balance out more by the next day, so would recommend testing this and leaving for a day to see the true finish (even if it feels dry to touch after an hour).

After a lot of research, ai used this on a chest of drawers that I had upcycled with a matte paint. Instructions clearly state that if you want a true flat matte then you need to give 2 coats of the soft sheen varnish first then put this on as a top coat. It's worked brilliantly! I used a brush very softly but I would probably use a foam roller if I were to do it again. But really happy with results!

Brilliant! Would recommend fully, do as per instructions and no problem will arise

After spending ages looking for a varnish to use on a newly painted media wall, I was drawn to this one. The results after 2 or 3 coats look great and seem hard wearing. It's easy enough to apply and dries relatively quickly too. The only observations I would make are despite being flat Matt, the finish has a slight sheen, and there is a slight darkening of the paint finish, but nothing major. Will definitely use again!

Used over paint for extra durability. It went on extremely smoothly and left a very nice finish, unlike some other products I have used in the past.

Haven't tested the product yet but it arrived 3 quarters full and no seal at all. Lid came right off with no top seal so unsure if the product inside is legit or not before doing an actual review.
