Gloss finish Give your project a glossy glow with our ultra-shiny Gloss finish. Satin finish If you're looking for a subtle sheen, then our Satin finish is the one for you. Review: Great quality and really water-resistant! - I’m very happy with this varnish. It applies smoothly, dries quickly and leaves a clean, clear finish. The water resistance is excellent — exactly as described. Perfect for protecting decorations and wood surfaces. Definitely worth the money. Review: Great product... - I purchased this to protect a table I had decorated using emulsion paint. Ordinary varnish dried with a yellow finish which looked awful. After some research I discovered this water soluble varnish and I have to say it is brilliant. It looks like frothy milk when you apply it. I used a non shed brush and applied 3 coats. It has very little odour and it dries to a perfect invisible finish. Being so impressed with the coverage and protection of my painted table I decided to use this varnish on a reclaimed oak dining table which only had a thin wax for protection and so was covered in water stains. After a quick sand and 3 coats of polyvine dead flat varnish I now have a dining table which does not have any stains and I don't panic any more when I see a cup or glass on it without a coaster. The finish is amazing, you really wouldn't think the wood had any finish on it at all as there is no hint of varnish on the wood but yet gives a descent amount of protection. I don't think either table would be protected from hot plates or cups but for general spillages this water soluble varnish does a great job.Very impressed with this product and being water soluble you clean your brushes with water and the varnish itself is much better for the environment.Chuffed! ## Features - PROFESSIONAL GRADE PROTECTION - Polyvine Decorators Varnish Clear is an advanced nano-technology formula providing long-lasting durability, shielding indoor and outdoor surfaces against UV damage, water, stains, scuffs and everyday wear. - QUICK & EASY APPLICATION - Polyvine Decorators Varnish Satin, Gloss or Dead Flat is water-based, drying in just 30+ mins and fully curing in 5-7 days.

I've used the wax and though I like it on smaller things still would choose this varnish. I used the matte. My friends who have used it on my recomendation are happy with it. The other thing I would suggest is to use a varnish brush. **Q: Does it make the paint much darker? I want something that won't alter the colour...** A: It did not change the colour of my paint **Q: Whats more suitable on plaster of paris. The polyvine wax dead flat finish or decorators varnish dead flat?** A: I'm not sure have only used it on chalk paint **Q: Can this be used on bare wood without effecting the colour? I'm using pine but don't want to darken the colour too much.** A: This varnish gives a very flat invisible finish. I used it on oak doors without changing the colour at all. However, I did find the varnish felt a bit sticky after washing an area around the door handle a couple of times - so I covered the doors with Ronseal matt oil varnish - which went on top and provided an invisible durable finish. What I am saying is that this Polyvine is perfect for decorative surfaces, but not for areas that need frequent cleaning. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality and really water-resistant! *by V***M on 18 November 2025* I’m very happy with this varnish.

I used the 'Dead Flat' on an upcycling project of painted furniture and so pleased with the results. It is a fluid white coloured varnish which dries to a completely clear, flat and VERY smooth finish. I found no change of shading to the paint.... which was very important to my project. I did 2 thin coats straight onto the surface ( letting it dry for an hour on first coat.... it dries super quick) using a brush. It spreads very well and is so easy to work with. It goes a lot further than you would think and I still have half the bottle left after doing 2 large chests of drawers, 2 bedside drawers and 6 wooden kitchen chairs which had 'shiney' varnish on them.... and it dulled them down beautifully. I won't ever go back to tinned varnish after this!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Polyvine Decorator's Dead Flat Varnish Quart 1 litre - Polyvine Decorator's Varnish Satin Finish Pint / 500ml - Polyvine Decorator's Dead Flat Varnish Pint / 500ml --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48661912-decorators-varnish-dead-flat-water-resistant-clear-varnish-with-uv](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/48661912-decorators-varnish-dead-flat-water-resistant-clear-varnish-with-uv) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
