It's just come to my attention that both Liquitex and Golden (not the brands of varnish I usually use) reccomend first varnishing an acrylic with water based gloss polymer varnish as an isolation barrier before varnishing with a solvent based acrylic resin varnish. I find no such reccomendation from Gamblin or Winsor Newton.
What do you think. A good idea for the art or for selling more product?
Why would it be neccesary to do this?
