Can I use print varnishes such as Timeless and Glamour 2 on darkroom (resin coated (RC) or fibre-based) papers?

by Breathing Color|Published June 6, 2022

Our print varnishes will not work with fibre-based or resin coated photographic paper. The water-based nature of our varnishes tends to buckle and warp these papers. We suggest using an aerosol solvent (not aqueous) varnish, such as Golden Archival Aerosol Varnish MSA with UVLS (currys.com)
