ILFORD Galerie Canvas Protect Matt 1L

Printed three large canvases yesterday and gave them a quick coat before hanging. The water-based formula went on smooth with no streaks and dried clear, and the scratch protection is a real bonus since I lean them against furniture. Waiting on the next batch of prints just so I can use it again.

The matte finish on this coating is exactly what I wanted—it doesn't change the canvas texture at all. Applied with a roller and it dried clear with no streaks, even on a 36-inch print. One liter was plenty for several medium-sized canvases.

Took a while to apply evenly over a big canvas, but the water-based formula dried to a nice protective layer with zero weird smell. Scratches from handling during framing haven't shown up at all since it cured.
