Marabu ClearShield Canvas Guard Clear Coating and Liquid Laminates

ClearShield Canvas Guard is the ideal coating for canvas and Giclee applications. It is specifically formulated for flexibility so that canvas can be stretched after coating. ClearShield Canvas Guard is specifically formulated for use over water-resistant canvas and Giclee applications. Designed with flexibility in mind, Canvas Guard allows users to stretch the canvas after coating without any cracking. It is formulated to work on micro porous and porous ink jet receptive layers and helps to reduce pinholes normally encountered when applying coatings to ink-jet canvas. Canvas Guard can be applied using all hand application methods, such as a short-nap roller application. ClearShield Canvas Guard is the ultimate protection for canvas applications. Note: For gel coated and other water sensitive canvas and dye-based inks please use our ClearJet Fine Art Product line. Advantages State of the Art UV-inhibitors Protects from abrasion and marring Highly flexible Chemically resistant Non-yellowing Enhances color How to apply We recommend using either a high-density foam roller or a 3/16" short-nap roller (our in-house favorite). Saturate the roller with ClearShield Canvas Guard and then allow the access coating to fall back into the tray. The coating should not be dripping off the roller. Apply one thin coat, moving from one side of the canvas to the other. It is not necessary to have a wet, saturated film across the entire surface. Allow the first thin coat to dry to the touch. This should take about 30 minutes to an hour. Apply a second thin to medium coat in the same manner as the first: from side to side. Finishes Gloss Semi-Gloss Satin Matte
