FAQs

What surfaces can I use this varnish on?

This varnish is ideal for interior furniture and woodwork, including tables, chairs, cabinets, and decorative wooden items made from hard or soft woods.

How many coats should I apply?

For optimal protection and durability, it is recommended to apply 2 to 3 thin, even coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Can this varnish be used on wooden floors?

No, this varnish is not designed for floors or surfaces that experience heavy abrasion. It is intended for furniture and general woodwork.

How do I clean the varnished surface?

Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. For regular cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning products.

Does the ceramic particle technology make the finish rough?

No, the ceramic particles are finely integrated into the varnish. They enhance hardness and resistance without altering the smooth, gloss finish.

What is the drying time between coats?

Drying time is typically 4-6 hours between coats, but this can vary depending on temperature and humidity levels. Ensure the surface is touch-dry and properly set before applying the next coat.

Troubleshooting

Varnish appears streaky or uneven

Ensure the varnish is thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats, working in consistent strokes. Avoid over-brushing.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and sanded if necessary. Check that previous finishes were compatible or removed.

Bubbles in the finish

This can be caused by over-brushing, applying too thickly, or applying in too warm or humid conditions. Apply thinner coats and avoid excessive brushing.

Tacky surface after drying

The varnish may not have cured properly due to insufficient drying time, high humidity, or low temperatures. Ensure adequate ventilation and allow more drying time.
