Overview

Polyvine Extra Pale Varnish is an oil based finish formulated to produce an extremely pale colour on wood. Ideal for use on hard and softwood doors, kitchen worktops, cabinets, tabletops, counters, bookshelves and wood panelling. The unique formulation of selected resins and oils creates a extremely durable, high quality coating that dramatically reduces yellowing characteristics compared with polyurethane varnishes.

• Hard wearing
• Fast drying

Preparation

Ensure the surface to be coated is clean and free from grease

• New or bare wood should be lightly sanded and cleaned with white spirit.
• Previously varnished surfaces if in sound condition, clean down to remove dirt, grease, oil and wax polish. If the existing varnish is in poor condition, remove it completely.
• Remove any poorly adhering or defective varnish by scraping back to a firm edge.
• Fill and make good any cracks or imperfections with a suitable wood filler.

Application
