Irresistables Heat Set Paints & Mediums were created because there was a need to continue keeping up with the demands of the reborn paint market. We have worked for months to come up with the perfect recipe for both our colors and our mediums. We know you will enjoy using them and will be impressed with how easily they apply thus creating the perfect finished product. We will continue to add to our product line as needed and look forward to the positive feedback from the artists. 

MATTE VARNISH:

Irresistables Heat Set Paint (IRHSP) Matte Varnish is a brand new formula that when applied over the desired paint surface creates a smooth matte finish. IRHSP Matte is best used to create depth or a smooth finish to the skin of any doll. If you plan to root the head, although not necessary, consider using the IRHSP Matte for everywhere except the top of the head that is being rooted. To seal the head before rooting, we suggest using our IRHSP Thinning. In the artists world it is known that varnishes are harder than mediums so as to avoid cracking or white pin dots when inserting the needles, leave the IRHSP Matte off of this area and seal it with IRHSP Thinning Medium.

You can apply this product straight from the jar or by mixing it with either LiquiThin or Thinning Medium.  The trick to using it out of the jar is to apply it in very thin layers and in sections. Pounce it very well so you don’t see any white and make sure to get in all of the crevices and creases without leaving any residue. You can bake it immediately after finishing, it is not necessary to let it dry or flash off.  You will have the optimal results if applied as stated above.

This product is compatible with any heat set paint products including Genesis. You will love the new consistency and have fun being creative with this product to make sure you are happy with the end result. Ultimately, it leaves a beautiful matte finish that is very smooth.

DIRECTIONS for Matte Varnish: After heat setting the paint, let it cool fully before applying the Matte Varnish. You canmix some IRHSP matte with a small amount of either IRHSP LiquiThin or Thinning Medium. All of our mediums mix well together so you can mix matte with any IRHSP medium of your choice.  We recommend using it right out of the jar but STIR WELL and make sure it is fluid enough to flow. Using a wide brush, apply one THIN coat of the matte varnish spreading evenly over the paint. Pounce well making sure to leave no white residue in the creases. Heat oven to 265 degrees just like the IRHSP colors and bake for 10-15 minutes. Do not heat above 350. You can bake IRHSP Matte as many times as needed but it is essential that it is baked properly so it is fully cured.
