The three sheens of GOLDEN Varnish, gloss, satin, and matte can be easily blended to create a custom varnish. We suggest mixing the varnishes together and THEN thinning with the appropriate solvent. A good way to test the sheen is to make an acrylic panel with several dark paints on it and brush some of the varnish out. After it dries you can compare it to unvarnished areas and other mixtures.
