Carl is right on the money. The Golden paint site contains a wealth of information.

Also, it important to"varnish" acrylic paintings as the acrylic films are somewhat soft and that over time surface dirt can get imbedded in the film. I suggest that you apply an isolating film of acrylic gloss medium and when that is thororoghly dry, apply a "varnish" coat with Golden's Polymer Varnish with UVLS (UV inhibitors and light stabilizers which protect the color of the painting from fading). This final "varnish" is removable with alkaline solutions for conservation purposes.
