Hahnemuhle Varnish For Canvas Inkjet Prints - 1 Liter (Glossy)

I thought the colors would pop off the (Hahnemuhle Monet) canvas when the images came off the printer. Better than most papers I've used. But then when I applied the varnish it was like a thin milky film had been peeled off - the colors were even more vibrant. Everything just glows. I'm still new at this, and I'm still having problems applying the varnish. Out of the bottle, it's rather thick. And it begins to dry very quickly. I applied with a foam roller per the instructions, but no matter what I did, I still got lines where the edge of the roller had run. I tried everything to get rid of them with only moderate success. Next time I'll try thinning per instructions (10% distilled water) and I may try spraying. After everything dries the lines don't just jump out at you, but if you look carefully (or not so carefully) you can still see them. When dry, the surface is wonderful. It feels very tough - somewhat like Naugahyde upholstery material. Except for the difficulty applying, I would have given it 5 stars.
