Can I use this varnish on outdoor furniture?

This varnish is primarily for indoor furniture. For outdoor use, consider a varnish specifically designed for outdoor conditions.

How many coats of varnish should I apply?

For most applications, two coats are recommended for optimal protection and appearance. Additional coats can be applied for higher durability, with light sanding between coats.

Ensure the varnish is thoroughly stirred before application. If it's still too thick, do not dilute it. Consider applying a thinner coat.

Can I use this varnish over existing paint?
