Brief:  A marine grade interior, exterior, high gloss, resin based varnish.  Developed for timber floors and joinery.  Can be brushed to a superb lacquer finish.

Use:  For interior and exterior timber surfaces, floors T & G, parquet and for protection of all wet areas.

Preparation:  The surface must be dry, clean and free of grease.  Special care should be taken to remove any dust from the pores of the timber.  In addition mineral surfaces must be chemically neutral and able to bear a load.  Sand the surface to a fine finish. Prime with Java Resin Oil or with Gloss Varnish thinned 20% with White Spirit before applying 2-3 coats of undiluted Varnish.

Old, well preserved coatings should be given a light sand.   Apply 1 to 2 coats of Gloss Varnish.    Old damaged and weathered coatings should be completely removed and then treated as a new surface.

Application:  Coverage approx 17 sqm/L depending on absorbency. The temperature should be at least 8 degC.  Stir well and apply with brush or fine nap microfibre roller to give a thin even coat.  At 20 deg C and normal humidity the surface will be tack dry after 3 – 5 hours.Wait 12 – 24 hours for each coat to be dry before lightly sanding (240 grit) and applying a further coat. Floors can normally be walked on after 24 hours, final hardness will be achieved after 28 days.
