Yes, provided the old varnish is sound. Lightly abrade the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and clean away dust before applying. If the old finish is flaky or damaged, it should be removed completely.
Coverage varies depending on the absorbency and type of wood. A typical coverage rate is approximately 10-12 square meters per liter, but refer to the product can for precise details.
Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth. For cleaning brushes and equipment, use warm water.
This product is available in a specific walnut shade and is not designed to be tinted or mixed with other varnishes or colors. Always test any custom mixing on a scrap piece of wood first.
When stored correctly in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry place, the varnish typically has a shelf life of up to two years. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use.
Ensure the varnish is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Check for any dust or debris on the surface before application.
Ensure the ambient temperature is above 10°C (50°F) and ventilation is adequate. Thicker coats or high humidity can also slow drying; apply thinner coats in well-ventilated conditions.
Apply the varnish with a clean, good-quality brush. Use long, even strokes and avoid working the varnish too much. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
This can occur due to high humidity, insufficient ventilation, or applying the coat too thickly. Ensure proper environmental conditions and apply thinner coats. Allow more time for drying.
Preparation: Ensure the woodwork surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old finishes. Lightly sand the surface if necessary, and wipe clean. For new wood, a pre-treatment might be beneficial depending on the wood type.
Application: Stir the varnish thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush. Avoid over-brushing. Apply at temperatures above 10°C (50°F) and with good ventilation.
Compatibility: Suitable for all interior woodwork. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure about compatibility with existing finishes.
Care: Clean brushes immediately after use with warm water. Wipe up spills promptly. For routine cleaning of the varnished surface, use a soft, damp cloth.
