Hello,

It is time to varnish my dry oil painting. A friend and artist I respect suggested I use a Professional Photo Finish Lacquer Spray. She says it has a nice surface and is easy to apply. I am just about to order a can or two but now I am starting to have doubts.

Has anyone ever used a photo lacquer on his or her oil painting before? I really like the idea of spraying on the finish rather than brushing it on. But I am a little nervous about using a product that wasn't intended for oil paint--any thought or suggestions?

Thanks,
Lara Cannon
