FAQs

How much varnish do I need?

Coverage varies based on the wood type and the number of coats. Refer to the product label for the estimated coverage per litre.

Can I use this varnish on exterior wood?

No, this varnish is designed for interior use only.

How many coats of varnish should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for optimal protection and appearance. For high-traffic areas, you might consider a third coat.

How long should I wait between coats?

Refer to the product label for the recommended drying time between coats. Typically, it's a few hours, but ensure it's completely dry to the touch before applying the next coat.

How do I clean the floor after applying the varnish?

Regularly sweep or vacuum to remove dust and debris. Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

How long does it take for the varnish to fully cure?

The varnish usually takes several days to fully cure. Avoid placing heavy objects on the floor during this period.

Can I apply this varnish over existing finishes?

It is generally recommended to remove any existing finishes before applying this varnish. Sand the surface thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Varnish is not drying properly.

Ensure adequate ventilation and that the room temperature is within the recommended range. Check for any contaminants on the floor surface that might be preventing adhesion.

Varnish is streaky or uneven.

Ensure even application, using long strokes with a brush or applicator. Sand lightly between coats to smooth out any imperfections.

Floor is scratched or damaged after applying.

Allow the varnish to fully cure before placing heavy objects on the floor. Use felt pads under furniture. For deep scratches, you may need to re-sand and reapply the varnish.

The colour is not as expected.

Ensure the wood is properly prepared, as different wood types absorb varnish differently. Apply multiple coats for a richer colour. Consider testing on a small, hidden area first.
