FAQs

What surfaces can I use this varnish on?

This varnish is ideal for interior woodwork such as furniture, doors, skirting boards, and trim. It is not intended for use on floors or exterior surfaces.

How many coats of varnish should I apply?

For optimal protection, we recommend applying two to three thin, even coats. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Can I use this over existing paint or stain?

This varnish is best applied directly to bare or previously varnished wood. If applying over existing finishes, ensure they are fully cured, clean, and lightly sanded for adhesion. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

How do I clean the varnished surface?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can compromise the protective finish.

What is the main benefit of the ceramic particles?

The fine ceramic particles integrated into the varnish provide exceptional hardness, significantly increasing resistance to scratches and daily wear compared to standard varnishes.

How long does the varnish take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Generally, recoat times are several hours, with full curing taking several days to a week. Always refer to the specific instructions on the product can.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks

Ensure the varnish is well-stirred and applied in thin, even coats. Avoid over-brushing and work with the grain. Ensure the brush is suitable for varnishes.

Varnish is not drying properly

Check that coats were applied too thickly or in a humid/cold environment. Ensure sufficient drying time has passed between coats as per instructions. Reduce ventilation if air is too humid.

Surface remains tacky

This often indicates a thick application or insufficient drying time. Wait longer for it to cure or, in severe cases, gently sand and reapply a thinner coat.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface may not have been properly prepared (clean, dry, free of grease or old finishes). Ensure thorough preparation before application.
