However, Polyvine over chalk paint on your chairs, it isnt the greatest option. That is the negative answer. I may have a positive answer from a colleague shortly with his take on what is a good option. Polyvine do a range of clear acrylic varnishes for protecting flat matt emulsioned walls in high traffic areas, or for sealing emulsion on woodwork. It comes in 3 sheens, dead flat, satin and gloss. For interior emulsion wallpaper fabric and plaster work. A revolutionary water based varnish for the protection of a wide range of decorative surfaces. If you are using a chalk paint, I would go for the Dead Flat Matt finish, It works perfectly with the chalk paint & will leave you with a surface that is, as it says, dead flat matt!

If you have matt emulsion paint and want a tougher finish, then you could consider a tougher decorators varnish (satin or gloss) It will sightly alter the colour even though clear.

So it must have been me, I neglected to follow the full spec.

Given it’s a light colour on an item of furniture that’s likely to get a lot of touching from usage, I’m considering applying a coat or two of Polyvine Decorators Varnish.

In practice, I painted a patch in the middle of a wall of acrylic matt (3% sheen). The dead flat varnished section dried in a few minutes – discernibly darker, and with a sheen. Wooden floors • quarry tiles • cork tiles • slate • flag stones • wooden worktops • furniture • shelving. The Polyvine dead matt is about as colourless and flat as you are going to get, as long as you realise it isnt literally 0% sheen.
