Applying a Polycrylic Finish | Acrylic Pour Glossy Finish - Acrylic Pouring for Beginners Episode 5
As a beginner pour artist, at some point you will fall in love with a pour and you will want to apply a glossy finish to your acrylic pour. We recommend using the Minwax Polycrylic to to apply a glossy finish your first pour.
This finish, or varnish, is much less expensive than some of the name brand finishes. When Polycrylic is applied correctly, it can give a beautiful top coat to help protect your paintings and add emphasis to your creations.
There are a few important steps to take when finishing your acrylic pour:
►1. Clean the surface - All dirt, dust, and oils need to be removed
►2. Do your finishing in an location where the temperature will be near 70' Fahrenheit and no more than 50% humidity (See our article on Drying Times of Acrylic pour paintings here https://leftbrainedartist.com/how-long-do-acrylic-pours-take-to-dry/)
►3. Use enough paint -If you are using a brush or pad, the brush strokes should disappear after a few seconds. The paint should not puddle on the edges when brushing or there is too much liquid.
►4. Paint 2 or three thin coats - wait at least 2 hours between coats
