FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this varnish?

The primary benefit is its extreme protection against scratches and stains, due to the inclusion of fine ceramic particles.

Can this varnish be used on floors?

No, this varnish is specifically designed for interior furniture and woodwork and is not suitable for floor applications.

How many coats of varnish should I apply?

It is generally recommended to apply two to three thin, even coats for optimal protection and finish.

What is the drying time?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Typically, it is touch-dry in a few hours, ready for light use after 24 hours, and fully cured after several days.

Can I apply this over an existing paint or varnish?

It's best to test on an inconspicuous area first. For optimal results, the surface should be properly prepared, which may involve sanding or removing old finishes if they are not compatible.

Is this product suitable for outdoor furniture?

No, this varnish is formulated for interior use only and will not withstand outdoor conditions.

What color is the finish?

The finish is a Dark Oak Gloss, providing a deep brown color with a high-shine reflective surface.

Troubleshooting

Varnish appears streaky or uneven

Ensure the varnish is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply thin, even coats, working in the direction of the wood grain. Avoid overworking the product.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure wood is clean, dry, and free from grease or old finishes. Sand thoroughly and remove all dust before application.

Tacky or slow-drying surface

Ensure application in a well-ventilated area with moderate temperature and humidity. Avoid applying too thickly. Ensure correct product is used for the application.

Scratches are still appearing

While highly resistant, extreme force can still cause scratches. Ensure the product was applied in sufficient coats (2-3) and allowed to cure fully (typically 24 hours for light use, several days for full hardness).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
