Golden Isolation Coat

Golden Isolation Coat is a ready-to-use sealing coat for acrylic paintings. Isolation Coat eliminates the need to measure and mix while increasing flow and leveling. Isolation coat is a permanent acrylic medium that seals surface absorbency and allows for improved varnish application and easier varnish removal.

Golden Isolation Coat should dry within approximately 10-30 minutes of application. Apply one or more layers before varnishing. It is best to allow the isolation coat to dry one day before applying a varnish. If there is a time period of two weeks or greater in between the application of the isolation coat and the varnish, it may be necessary to wipe the surface of the isolation coat down with a soft, lint free damp rag in order to remove any surfactants that could cause a lack of adhesion with the varnish layer.

Tip: Sealing absorbent surfaces of a painting with Isolation Coat will assist in the varnish application. This will prevent the varnish from being absorbed within the surface and allow the varnish to function as an easily removable topcoat. This is especially important when using a Satin or Matte varnish because the liquid of the varnish can be absorbed into non-sealed areas leaving the matting solids exposed at the surface and creating a dusty or cloudy appearance. To determine if you have a substantial isolation coat, once the first isolation coat is dry, look at the painting at an angle and the presence of an even sheen should indicate an even surface ready for varnish.
