Questions & Answers

When used on cedar lumber in north Alabama, how long does it last before it needs to be revarnished?

Well, I've never been to north Alabama, but with eight coats on in my upstate New York outside shower - Despite piles of snow and harsh weather, the cedar shower is still in excellent condition after 5 years. If done properly, this stuff is as hard as nails.

Is it possible to apply this product to latex-painted wood?

There is no way. Before using this product, you must completely remove any latex paint residue with a sander.

Outdoor exposure is the best option
5/5

My boat docks have wood rails that are exposed to the elements, including sunlight, rain, snow, and bird poop. This is the best varnish on the market; it blows Minwax and similar spar varnishes out of the water. It comes out of the can quite thick, so I thin it slightly with DMVP naptha before applying it thickly. It's like pancake syrup on top of pancakes. It's necessary to maintain a wet edge and brush it out as you go. It takes a long time for the paint to dry. The temperature must be at least 60 degrees Fahrenheit. But when you're done, you'll have a glassy, high-gloss finish that will last all year in any weather. Now that I've found it, it's the only varnish I use! After it has dried, lightly sand with 220 grit (300 grit is preferable) sandpaper before applying a second coat. Every fall, invest in a new coat that will keep you warm all winter long. In the spring, give it another go.

Simple to work with
5/5

Over the epoxy, apply two coats of gloss, followed by a matt coat. (If you want to go for a glossy look, the gloss is very shiny. ) ) The product was simple to use; 4 parts varnish and 1 part mineral spirits were mixed together.

A fantastic product! This is my kind of thing
5/5

Let's toast to the world while good varnish is still available. It was well worth the money! For the first seal coat, always get the thinner and mix 3 to 5 parts thinner to 1 part thinner. I am overjoyed!.

I really like it
5/5

Used to give patio furniture a finished look. Coverage is excellent, and the odor is negligible. I'm completely addicted to this game. Our furniture is now both attractive and long-lasting. The first coat has been thinned.

It flows nicely out of the can, but what is left in a sealed can doesn't keep well, and it isn't any more durable than other brands

Wood has a beautiful finish
5/5

This looks fantastic on wood patio furniture. We used it on teak chairs, and the results were stunning! The color is a rich brown with a high sheen.

Excellent product and excellent service! The exterior of a home in Lake Tahoe was painted with this product! On a 50-year-old house, natural wood siding is still in use! It appears to be in perfect condition! I'm in love with the product and couldn't be more pleased!
