They are a very good company that goes way out of its way to provide artists with technical help. If something is not in their .pdf files, news letter archives, or FAQ, you can email the technical department and get an answer from a chemist.

Also, it important to"varnish" acrylic paintings as the acrylic films are somewhat soft and that over time surface dirt can get imbedded in the film. I suggest that you apply an isolating film of acrylic gloss medium and when that is thororoghly dry, apply a "varnish" coat with Golden's Polymer Varnish with UVLS (UV inhibitors and light stabilizers which protect the color of the painting from fading). This final "varnish" is removable with alkaline solutions for conservation purposes.
