Product Information
Full details
Polyvine Exterior Extreme Varnish is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking robust protection for exterior wood surfaces. Its key benefit is an ultra-tough, waterproof finish that actively blocks UV rays and resists mildew, mold, and fungus, significantly extending the life and appearance of your woodwork. A potential caveat is that achieving maximum UV protection requires a specific multi-coat application of both satin and dead flat finishes.

Troubleshooting
Varnish appears cloudy or milky
This can happen if applied too thickly or in cold, damp conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and apply thin coats. Allow proper drying time.
Brush marks are visible
Apply varnish thinly and evenly, working with the grain. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure the varnish is at the correct temperature for application.
Surface still shows signs of mold or mildew
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of existing mold before application. For persistent issues, consider a dedicated mold remover before re-varnishing. Ensure adequate coats are applied as per instructions.
Varnish is not drying
Check ambient temperature and humidity. If conditions are too cold or damp, drying will be significantly slowed. Ensure the surface is not saturated with moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the surface to be varnished is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and previous finishes. Sand lightly if necessary and remove all dust.
Application: Apply using a good quality brush. For optimal results and UV protection, apply three coats of the satin finish, allowing 3 hours between coats. Follow with one final coat of the dead flat finish for maximum UV resistance. Stir well before and during use. Do not apply if rain is expected, in temperatures below 5°C or above 30°C, or in direct sunlight on hot surfaces.
Compatibility: Suitable for most exterior wood surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Clean tools and brushes immediately after use with water. For maintaining the varnished surface, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
