This varnish is incredibly difficult to source in Europe compared to 
Lascaux and DCP that take a minute to order. BTW either of the two I 
intend to order in the matte version for USFA and HPR 308 (probably 
Lascaux Fixativ). There's an Eco version of PS but being water-based 
I'm not sure it will really dry. I'm not too keen in buying the 5L 
bulk, I don't want to spend whatever $/£/€ without a test (and I don't 
know how to spray the bulk). I'd rather have prints framed under glass 
but I have to exhibit framed without glass in a couple of weeks plus I 
have the bronzing issue to deal with. How do European people do to 
source the magic Print Shield in can ?
