Default for sealing fake rock

in the middle of a fake rock build for my beardie.........has anyone used this for sealing fake rock ?, would it be suitable ? ~

Vallejo Matt Varnish (520 (192))
Waterbased acrylic varnishes with new, quick drying formula, and an acrylic resin of extraordinary hardness and permanence. Protects painted models from dust and scratches, dirt and humidity. Acrylic Varnish should never be applied until the paint has dried completely, and it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours. Varnish should be applied in fine coats at approximately four hours' intervals. Brushes or other utensils should be kept humid while working.
Equivalent to Humbrol 49

I use the same on mine.
On some I also put sand on the PVA before it dries to give a textured natural finish.
