How to create a basic, brush applied "isolation coat". Please note that an isolation coat is only recommended for acrylic paintings. It is applied prior to varnishing and acts as a permanent non-removable layer that physically separates the paint surface from the varnish, thereby protecting the painting should the varnish ever be removed later on.

  • @senorjorgegonzales - An isolation coat is a permanent part of the painting. It cannot be removed without ultimately doing harm to the rest of the acrylic painting underneath. If you need some assistance, please contact us here in Technical Support at 1(800) 959-6543 or techsupport@goldenpaints(.)com and we would be happy to help out!

  • hi, how do you remove the isolation coat?

  • Hello. Do not use an acrylic isolation coat directly over actual watercolors, as it will most likely smear the image until it dries. Our best suggestion is to use the MSA Varnish Gloss first, and then apply the varnsih sheen of choice over the gloss as needed. - We have an info sheet about varnishing watercolors at our website. Please visit the golden paints (dot) com website

  • can this be used as an isolation coat for watercolors? before varnishing them with UV varnish?
