Le Tonkinois Gelomat

Gelomat is a thixotropic additive for Le Tonkinois Linseed Oil Varnish to reduce the sheen of the final finish. Add Gelomat to only the final 1-2 coats of varnish (depending on application thickness) to achieve the desired surface sheen. It is not necessary to add Gelomat to all coats of varnish. Achieve the desired sheen with these easy mixing ratios: Matte - 1 part Gelomat : 1 part varnish Silky Matte - 1 part Gelomat : 2 parts varnish Silky Gloss - 1 part Gelomat : 3 parts varnish Any level of sheen can be achieved depending on the ratio of Gelomat to varnish. Always do tests to ensure the desired result.
