How do I create a matte finish using Glamour II?
There are a couple different techniques that you can use to acquire a matte finish using our varnish. First off which would be to apply a thin coat of gloss varnish first. Please wait for it to become fully dry before taking the next step. After the print has dried, you can apply a heavy coat of matte over the first thin gloss base coat. This should give it a matte finish when it has completed drying. Another method would be to mix the varnish together. Glamour II Gloss and Glamour II Matte are 100% compatible with each other. A good gloss-to-matte ratio would be 20% gloss – 80% matte. This process may require some trial and error to find what ratio best suits your prints. However, 20% gloss and 80% matte seems to be a an average ratio for matte finishes. Once you have found your desired ratio, it would be a good idea to invest in a graduated cylinder (the glass instrument use to measure fluids). This will make it very easy to maintain the exact same coating ratio for all of your print
